For the first time in over a decade, Don Daily’s original illustrations of The Jungle Book are brought back to life with unprecedented quality, accompanied by Rudyard Kipling’s timeless and enchanting stories of the jungle.

When Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book nearly 120 years ago, he used his imagination and experiences in the Indian forest to create a majestic domain where animals formed their own societies. In 1993, Don Daily brought the jungle to life with beautiful illustrations detailing the worlds of Mowgli, Baloo, Kaa, Bagheera, and other jungle dwellers.

The stories, teaching morals, self-discovery, loyalty, and friendship, are revived like never before, featuring a spectacular 8-page gatefold and full-colour spreads. This newly reformatted hardcover classic edition of The Jungle Book features the faithfully reproduced tales with Don Daily’s original illustrations, posthumously published in Daily’s honour using the world’s highest quality scanning and printing technology.
