The Jungle Book is brought to life with a documentary approach and is beautifully illustrated in colour and black and white, featuring line drawings, maps, photographs, diagrams and paintings, many of which date from when the story was written. The story is complete, unabridged text as originally published, generously annotated with hundreds of captions, and lively, succinct explanations of history, geography, social customs, the animal world, architecture, literature and science. A wonderful read.
