A short story originally published as part of The Jungle Book.
When a family moves to India and rescues a half-drowned mongoose called Rikki-tikki-tavi, they grow very fond of the cheeky fellow and soon he runs in and out of the house as much as he pleases. The happy mongoose eats at the table with the mother and father, and sleeps in the nursery with their little boy, Teddy.
But the family do not realise that evil lives in the bushes by their home – a pair of king cobras, who are plotting to kill the whole family so they can rule the garden!
Only Rikki-tikki-tavi can save the family from certain death, but is he brave and strong enough to fight both of them alone?
Rikki-tikki-tavi was originally published as part of The Jungle Book in 1894. In this edition, Kipling's story is complete and unabridged.
With atmospheric illustrations from the award-winning artist, Robert Ingpen.
'Ingpen's drawings are utterly compelling' – Michael Morpurgo

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born in Bombay, India, but was educated in England. In 1882 he returned to India and worked as a journalist. While there, he created stories, sketches and poems, which made him an instant literary celebrity. The Jungle Book, published in 1894, became a children's classic all over the world.
Robert Ingpen was born in 1936 in Geelong, Australia, and still lives and works nearby in Barwon Heads. In 1986 he was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for his contribution to children's literature and he has been honoured with Membership of the Order of Australia.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Ingpen, Robert (illustrateur). Hardcover. Originally published as part of Kipling's famous The Jungle Book, the story of Rikki Tikki Tavi, the little mongoose rescued by a family when he was half-drowned in a storm, has been an enduring favourite with young and old for more than half 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 new edition of Kipling's classic story includes many new illustrations by Robert Ingpen created especially for this book. Originally published as part of Kipling's famous The Jungle Book, this is the story of Rikki Tikki Tavi, the little mongoose rescued by a family when he was half-drowned in a storm. With 50 original illustrations by Robert Ingpen. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781913519568
