Sinopsis

An older Mowgli roams the jungle with his old animal friends and explores the ways of his people, a prime minister becomes a wandering holy man, scavengers tell their story and we leave India for the high, high north of Canada.

“The Second Jungle Book” is a continuation of Rudyard Kipling’s “Jungle Book”. First published in 1895, it contains five stories about Mowgli and three independent stories, all except one in India, most of which were written by Kipling during his stay in Vermont. Here Kipling again shows his love for the Indian subcontinent and its people and his understanding of their belief in these stories. All stories were published in magazines as early as 1894-5, often under different titles. The 1994 film “The Jungle Book” used them as a source.

The size of the eBook corresponds to about 250 printed pages, and it is provided with the original illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling (1837-1911).

Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story.
'Tobermory', one of Saki's most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech – animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers how cats have come to be served by the human race.
In addition to the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma.
The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.
