Someone added There was also a television series adaptation of Jungle Book by Doordarshan in India which was quite popular.. I think it is the same animated movie as the Japanese Shonen Mowgli (Nippon Animation Japan and Doro TV Merchandising Italy), but I am not sure. (Marc)

Separate articles for several stories still pending. Like Shrek once said, it's on my to-do list. Lee M 00:33, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] visits
I am worried by the statement frequent visits to India. Kipling was born there, of course; he spent eleven years at school in England; he was then a journalist, 1882-1889; he returned briefly 1890; and never returned. The books were written, from the end of 1892, using his literary prowess and his genius at listening to others; he used books (particularly that by Robert Armitage Sterndale) (see Indian Natural History) and his own imagination to complete the books. It should be pointed out that the stories were not just twee stories about anthromorphised animals, but were written with a serious purpose. The tales are fables; the verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle" (The Long Recessional: the Imperial Life of Rudyard Kipling David Gilmour, Pimlico 2003 [[ISBN 0-7126-6518-8]). I would hope that this article will include that sort of idea in a future rewrite. Peter Shearan 13:28, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cover
The image cover presented here is of a French edition. It should be more approppiate an English one, since Kipling is British and this the English Wikipedia afterall. Tavilis 16:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
I thought the same thing. Since it was written in english, an english cover should definately be used. 131.122.54.224 11:29, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
