An amazing story from Kipling’s famous "The Jungle Book," telling of a little mongoose who was rescued by humans during a terrible storm and repaid them with kindness for his salvation. Robert Ingpen, an outstanding artist who received the most prestigious award in children's literature for his work—the Hans Christian Andersen Award—was inspired by Kipling's writing and created magnificent illustrations for the tale of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. His world of India's wildlife is truly magnificent, and all the characters are so authentic that the reader implicitly believes in the adventures masterfully described by the author.
