Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story his children's books are classics of children's literature and one critic described his work as exhibiting 'a versatile and luminous narrative gift'.Directed by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”), based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film, “The Jungle Book” is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. He wrote tales and poems of British soldiers in India and stories for children. Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. 'The Second Jungle Book' is a sequel which features five stories about Mowgli and three unrelated stories, all but one set in India, most of which Kipling wrote while living in Vermont. As with much of Kipling's work, each of the stories is preceded by a piece of verse, and succeeded by another.

The most famous of the other four stories are probably 'Rikki-Tikki-Tavi', the story of a heroic mongoose, and 'Toomai of the Elephants', the tale of a young elephant-handler.

Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or 'heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle.' The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned 'man cub' Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. The tales in the book are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The Jungle Book is a collection of stories.
