The Jungle Book is a classic collection of fables and stories, most famously centered on the boy Mowgli, who is separated from his parents and raised in the Indian jungle by wolves. Mowgli is taught the Law of the Jungle by Baloo the bear and Bagheera the black panther, and frequently battles the menacing tiger, Shere Khan. The stories are allegorical tales exploring themes of law and chaos, nature versus civilization, and responsibility.
