    "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of stories originally published in the late 19th century. The central focus is on the adventures of a young boy named Mowgli, who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The book explores themes of nature, survival, and the conflict between civilization and the wild.  
    The narrative highlights the bonds formed between Mowgli and various animal characters, emphasizing the laws that govern the lives of the jungle's inhabitants. At the beginning of the book, we learn about Mowgli's origins when he is discovered by Father Wolf after wandering into the wolf pack's territory. The fierce tiger, Shere Khan, poses a significant threat as he seeks to claim Mowgli for himself. However, Mother Wolf fiercely defends Mowgli, declaring him as her own, which ignites a debate among the pack members about the implications of accepting a human child into their midst. 
    This opening sets the stage for Mowgli’s complex relationship with both the jungle and the human world, showcasing the challenges he faces as he grows up estranged from both realms. The tone of adventure and danger that permeates the stories to come invites listeners into a vividly imagined natural world.

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
