The story of Mowgli, the man-cub who is brought up by wolves in the jungles of India is one of the greatest literary myths ever created. As he embarks on a series of thrilling escapades, Mowgli encounters such unforgettable creatures as Bagheera, the graceful black panther, Baloo the kindly brown bear and Shere Khan, the tiger with the blazing eyes. As Mowgli grows up he is forced to realise that he is not like the other animals, and eventually takes his place among Men
