3 NEW TITLES The jungle Book Rikki-Tikki-TAVI Rudyard Kipling Illustrated by Robert Ingpen PUBLICATION 06/09/2018 ILLUSTRATIONS 50 colour PRICE EXTENT 48pp FORMAT 260 x 216mm ISBN AGE 8+ Originally published as part of the famous The Jungle Book, the story of Rikki Tikki Tavi, the little mongoose rescued by a family when he was halfdrowned in a storm, has been an enduring favourite with young and old for more than a century. Rikki, of course, grows to become a family pet and repays the kindness of his rescuers by defending them from the evil cobras that lurk in their garden. Like Kipling s other magical tales from India, Rikki Tikki Tavi has inspired Robert Ingpen to achieve some of his most amazing depictions of wildlife. Rikki and the other creatures are brought to life as never before although, as Robert says: I have tried to tread as lightly as I can with my images and hope I have left enough space for the reader to continue to make the adventure that Kipling created during his time in India. This abridged edition of Kipling s classic story includes many new illustrations by Robert Ingpen created especially for this book. Books for children 1
