Selected Rudyard Kipling

Deep dive into the rip-roaring collection of fierce and fiery adventure tales in ‘Selected Rudyard Kipling’, the author of ‘The Jungle Book’.
Once we’ve roamed the jungle in Kipling’s much-loved classic, we’ll follow fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne as he finds himself in dark and dangerous waters in the North Atlantic in ‘Captain Courageous’.
We’ll then encounter the magic of the Magna Carta in ‘Puck of Pook's Hill’. But beware! Where there is money, there are liars and cheats. And gutsy greed is never far away in ‘The Man who would be King’ when two tycoons attempt to forge their fates.
Last but not least, in Rudyard Kipling's most famous novel ‘Kim’, we’ll follow the trials and tribulations of an Irish orphan in India who balances both the life of a monk and a mysterious spy.
Weaving a rip-roaring collection from a mastermind novelist, ‘Selected Rudyard Kipling’ is the perfect companion for adventure-seeking fans of Idris Elba and Scarlett Johansson in the 2016 blockbuster hit ‘The Jungle Book.
