The King's Ankus: Mowgli discovers a long-lost treasure hoard and learns of how men will kill for gold. Slight rubbing at extremities, spine ends and one corner gently bumped, the binding otherwise bright and sound, faint foxing to contents. A very good copy with the blue and gilt covers still vibrant. A Sony Picture Entertainment release of a TriStar Pictures presentation of an MDP Worldwide/Sharad Patel presentation of a Raju Patel production. Produced by Raju Patel. Executive producers, Sharad Patel, Mark Damon. Co-producer, Peter Shepherd. Co-executive producers, Stephen Monas, Mohammed Yusef. Directed by Duncan McLachlan. Screenplay, Bayard Johnson, Matthew Horton, based on the book by Rudyard Kipling. Mowgli himself is able to stare down Bagheera, something Bagheera admits is unique among all animals. He also seems immune to some animal abilities like Kaa's hypnotism. Especially in Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (A mongoose goes to kill two cobras who want to kill the humans in a bungalow so that they can raise their children.) Probably justified in this case, since the cobras would also be a potential threat to Rikki Tikki as well. Plus, the humans had saved the mongoose's life and so they deserved his protection for that matter at least.

What a feast for the mind and the eye. Vibrant and thoughtful, Kipling chose his words with intent to deliver this captivating and provocative piece, sequel to The Jungle Book, turning worldview from humans to animals of the jungle and we can all learn from it.The Jungle Books were instant hits and remain popular today, more than a century after they were conceived by Kipling. There are endless debates about the quality of Kipling's prose and poetry, his politics and racial views, but the books are still considered classics. Brennan, Judy (June 8, 1993).

Quiquern: Two Inuit teenagers, one boy and one girl, set out into the wilderness from a village dying of starvation, following what they hope is the titular spirit to find food — unbeknownst that "Quiquern" is nothing more than two escaped dogs still tied together, so they appear as a single two-headed two-tailed eight-legged beast. This has always been a big plot point, since the law of the jungle outright forbids any animals to kill any humans for food. The reason for this is the fact that humans are the only animals who would seek revenge for this kind of thing, and thus causing the jungle far more problems than it can afford to deal with.

The Law of the Jungle: A poem covering some of the oft-mentioned law of the jungle, featured so often in the Mowgli stories. Chuchundra ( Asian house shrew, called a muskrat in the story) – His name is derived from " chuchunder", a term used for his species in India. Translation Convention: Mowgli and the animals hear each other speak English, but normal humans can't hear them speak English and just hear animal noises. Mowgli eventually learns how to talk to humans, although it's unclear if the humans really speak English or just think they're speaking English. But it's implied that they just think they're speaking English, since in the prototype Mowgli story, "In the Rukh", when the German Muller is speaking to the Englishmen, his accent is rendered atrociously, but when he's speaking to Mowgli it's in the same archaic and poetic English as everyone else.

Yet he is wise and honorable, and firmly remains on the side of the Jungle Law. Think Nothing of It: In "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", Rikki doesn't understand why Teddy's parents praise him for killing Karait and thereby saving Teddy, since he only did what naturally comes to him. Rikki thinks that "Teddy’s mother might just as well have petted Teddy for playing in the dust." The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, but where he has digged it too plain, The Council shall send him a message, and so he shall change it again.
