The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by English author Rudyard Kipling. The stories are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. A principal character is the boy or man-cub Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves.
The Jungle Book was written in 1894 by Rudyard Kipling and was mainly inspired by British Imperialism in India. Critic Don Randall believes that Mowgli represents the British. In the stories, he is seen defeating Shere Khan and establishing law and order to a place of corruption and deceit.
