The Jungle Book

<div>Rudyard Kipling&rsquo;s classic tale of an orphaned boy, a lama on a powerful quest, and two imperialist nations butting heads over one magical country Set in the former Lahore, India, against the backdrop of an imperialist war between Russia and Great Britain, Kim is the coming-of-age story of Kimball O&rsquo;Hara, a low-caste orphan boy roaming the streets with a &ldquo;magic&rdquo; talisman around his neck. The pendant contains three magic parchments sewn into a leather amulet case&mdash;papers that could whisk him away from the world he knows and trusts. One afternoon, Kim takes pity on an elderly lama who declares he is searching for wisdom and enlightenment at the River of the Arrow, and becomes the old man&rsquo;s guide, savior, and friend. Together, the odd pair travels the Grand Trunk Road, dodging cutpurses and road agents until the &ldquo;Little Friend of all the World&rdquo; becomes a little disciple to the wise old lama. But when Kim&rsquo;s father&rsquo;s old regimental chaplain runs into the lama and his young chela on their travels, a big change threatens to disrupt the friends&rsquo; plans to find enlightenment and happiness on their shared quest. Widely considered to be Rudyard Kipling&rsquo;s masterpiece, Kim combines sweeping adventure with a brilliant coming-of-age story. Part children&rsquo;s tale, part spy thriller, part examination of the twilight of the Victorian empire, Kim is a classic page-turner.

<div>This dramatic nineteenth-century nautical adventure and classic coming-of-age story is one of Rudyard Kipling&rsquo;s most enduringly popular works.

Desperate to get back to the world he knows, Harvey must prove his worth as one of the crew by mastering the challenging tasks and physical labor of life at sea. With help from the captain&rsquo;s son, Dan, he braves a number of risky exploits and adventures as they travel along the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Shedding his expectations of a pampered life, Harvey begins to embrace the tough work of a fisherman. Filled with thrilling action, this classic sea story will delight and excite readers of all ages. </div>

Captains Courageous

<div>Swashbuckling British adventurers find triumph and tragedy in nineteenth-century Afghanistan in this novella J. M. Barrie called &ldquo;the most audacious thing in fiction.&rdquo; While on tour in India, a British journalist encounters Daniel Dravot and Peachey Carnehan, two foolhardy drifters with a plan. Claiming they&rsquo;ve exhausted all the schemes and odd jobs they could find in India, the two are in search of an even greater adventure. They tell the journalist they&rsquo;re venturing to nearby Kafiristan&mdash;modern-day Afghanistan&mdash;to depose a weak ruler and establish themselves as kings. With a cache of the best rifles and knowledge of Masonic rituals that will baffle the native tribesmen, Daniel and Peachey don&rsquo;t see how they can fail. But they may have underestimated the locals . . . Inspired by tales of real-life explorers, Rudyard Kipling wrote The Man Who Would Be King when he was only twenty-two years old. Featuring vivid prose, exotic settings, and unforgettable characters, this dissection of the heroic pretensions of imperialism and colonialism is a swashbuckling tale for the ages, and served as inspiration for the 1975 John Huston film starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine. </div>

Five Classic Animal Adventures

<div>Thirteen classic children&rsquo;s stories from the Nobel Prize&ndash;winning author of The Jungle Book. Inspired by the bedtime stories Rudyard Kipling told his own daughter, Josephine, the charming tales in Just So Stories, including &ldquo;How the Leopard Got His Spots&rdquo; and &ldquo;How the Camel Got His Hump,&rdquo; attempt to answer the many questions children have about animals. &ldquo;Children love these stories as well because of their extraordinary ingenuity and inventiveness. Kipling has an Aesopian understanding of animals, of our dealings with them and our curious interrelatedness, interdependence, how we can learn about our own strange behaviour, our vanities and our foolishness, through them and through our relationship with them.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Morpurgo, The Guardian &ldquo;It does for very little children much what the Jungle Books did for older ones. It is artfully artless, in its themes, in its repetitions, in its habitual limitation, and occasional abeyance, of adult humor. It strikes a child as the kind of yarn his father or uncle might have spun if he had just happened to think of it; and it has, like all good fairy-business, a sound core of philosophy.&rdquo; &mdash;The Atlantic</div>
