In the Jungle Books, Kipling tells 9 wonderful and exciting tales about Mowgli, the human baby raised by a pack of wolves in the jungles of India. His exploits and adventures are many and varied especially his dealing with the other animals such as his wolf mother and father and brother wolves, Baloo the wise bear who teaches him the Law of the Jungle, and in his life long battle with Shere-Kahn, the lame human killing tiger. I have enjoyed these rich stories so much that I decided to take all 9 of them that are scattered throughout the first and second Jungle Books, as well as a few of his songs, and to put them into a chronological order from when he was a baby in the wolf den (Mowgli's Brothers) to his teen age years when he hears the irresistible call of civilization and being with his own kind (Spring Running). The stories up to Mowgli's Song are found in the Jungle Book. The stories from How Fear Came to the Jungle are found in the Second Jungle Book. ( Phil Chenevert)

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Hi Phil,
TY and yes I will be patient. Good things are worth waiting for.
I never read the book or saw the movie, so this will be especially enjoyable.

*Note,
Hi Phil, this is where the patience needs to kick in; I hated to have the story end.
Both you and the story are outstanding.
Hey, thanks! They are all excellent stories and Kipling was a great storyteller. I am working on How Fear Came, which is in the second book and Tiger, Tiger whihc is in the first. Not sure w hich I will edit first but you will love them all I promise.
