Synopsis

When the tiger Shere Khan attacks a village in the Indian jungle, little Mowgli is separated from his parents. A pack of wolves accepts him as their own offspring and feeds him. Mowgli is raised by the bear Baloo, the panther Bagheera, and the python Kaa. They teach Mogli the laws and language of the jungle. After his apprenticeship, Mowgli is strong enough to seek battle with the tiger Shere Khan. The bestseller “The Jungle Book” from 1894 made Rudyard Kipling famous. In 1907 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature. “The Jungle Book” was filmed several times.

Kipling’s adventure story has become one of the most popular youth books in the world since Walt Disney’s wonderful cartoon. But it is precisely this apparent fame that distracts attention from this literary masterpiece that conjures up the exoticism of the jungle and the fascination of India like no other. The almost limitless imagination, the sparkling wit and not least the extensive knowledge of the Indian animal and plant world make up the magical charm of these stories.

The book is decorated with the wonderful original illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling (1837-1911). Its size is about 170 pages.

    This book tells of a young woman who was found to have killed as a child. She was detained in various mental institutes, and then on to prison. It shows how she learned to control herself and whether or not prison reformed her. 
    Excerpt from the book: 
    “Why Mr Policeman, how nice of you to visit me, why do people like you interfere so much,” she said as her voice went into child-like chatter, and her face twisted with anger. Why do people like you interfere?”

    A bundle of books #1 (ON THE ROCKS) and #2 (EXTRA DIRTY) in Mia Gold’s Ruby Steele cozy mystery series. This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file.
    
    In ON THE ROCKS (Book #1), Ruby Steele, 30, beautiful, fit, seems just like any other ex-pat hiding out in the Bahamas and playing local bartender. But unruly patrons find out the hard way: Ruby is a mixed-martial-arts pro, and not one you’d want to cross. In fact, Ruby would be a champion if she hadn’t been forced to walk away and hide out in the Bahamas. Because Ruby knows too much. She knows where the bodies are buried. And she knows when it’s time to get out of town. But what Ruby doesn’t know is why there is a dead tourist in the dumpster behind her seedy bar. Or why, she, of all people, had to find it. Or why this guy was out at 3am when he had a pretty fiancé waiting in a hotel room a mile away. Or why the local cops are pinning her. Or why she’s gonna be forced into a choice: find the killer, or do hard time herself. For Ruby, good choices have never been her strong point. And this one’s definitely not going to be good…
    
    In EXTRA DIRTY (Book #2), a 40-something female tourist seeks out Ruby, desperate for her help. She was out partying all night with her friend, both of them drinking way too much and doing things they don’t want their husbands to know about. The problem is, as of 12 hours ago, her friend is missing. Their husbands can’t know. The cops can’t know. She needs Ruby’s help. And she’s running out of time. Ruby, though, has enough problems of her own. Shadowy figures from her old life are getting close. Way too close. Can Ruby really play detective and take on someone else’s problems? Who is this woman, anyway? And what isn’t she telling her? Ruby can’t keep away from a bad decision. And this time, it looks like, won’t be any exception….
    
    Welcome to the Bahamian world of Ruby Steele, replete with her local dive bar, her wily pet monkey, her major drinking problem, her (way) too many fights, her inability to get herself out of trouble, and her fists made of stone. Ruby’s life is a complete wreck. But there’s one thing she’s good at: capturing your heart. THE RUBY STEELE MYSTERY SERIES is a page-turning mystery/thriller series, one that will linger with you long after the last page is read. 
    
    Book #3 in the series (FULL-BODIED) is now also available.

    Laos File is a gold medal winner from the Military Writers Society of America! 
    The death of a salty old senior NCO who ran special operations in Vietnam, and discovery of detailed notebooks he kept on those classified missions, leads Marine Gunner Shake Davis on a shocking and potentially lethal quest to find out happened to hundreds of American POWs who disappeared along the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail. Davis attaches himself to an official post-war stabilization mission designed to establish normal relations between his nation and the DRV with a secret agenda to prove - or disprove once and for all - what he suspects might be the final fate of many Americans still listed as Missing In Action from the Vietnam War. Davis finds himself back fighting a war he thought ended long ago and narrowly escapes assassination by former enemy forces who desperately want their secret buried along with the bodies they claim were simply casualties of war ... rather than murder victims. 
    "Not Many Marines can claim the titles "killer" and "writer." Add one more victory to the long list. Great book! Told in salty jargon, as only a Captain of Marines can do." --R. Lee Ermey, Gunnery Sergeant USMC (Ret), Actor: Full Metal Jacket, Mail Call
