A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Joseph Rudyard Kipling; 30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936, was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He is chiefly remembered for his tales and poems of British soldiers in India and his tales for children. He was born in Bombay, in the Bombay Presidency of British India, and was taken by his family to England when he was five years old. Kipling is best known for his works of fiction, including The Jungle Book (a collection of stories which includes "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi"), Just So Stories (1902), Kim (1901) (a tale of adventure), many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888); and his poems, including "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), "The White Man's Burden" (1899), and "If—" (1910). He is regarded as a major "innovator in the art of the short story"; his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature; and his best works are said to exhibit "a versatile and luminous narrative gift".

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In this beautiful edition, Lambert Davis’s lush, realistic paintings bring new life to Nobel Prize-winner Rudyard Kipling’s beloved story of courage, honor, and friendship between a mongoose and a boy. “Kipling’s language and sense of story are superior as they develop the theme of loyalty, and the illustrations, lush with greenery, impart a sense of place and time while remaining focused on the story.”-- American Bookseller
