Set in the rich backdrop of India, this collection of stories features anthropomorphic animals that convey moral lessons through fables. Written by Rudyard Kipling, who drew inspiration from his childhood experiences in India and his time in Vermont, the tales were initially published in magazines and include illustrations by his father. The book holds a personal significance, as it is believed to have been written for Kipling's daughter, Josephine, who tragically passed away. The stories explore themes of identity and nature, making them timeless classics.
