Synopsis
Rikki-tikki-tavi è il grido di battaglia e quindi il nome della mangusta protagonista di questo racconto tratto dal grande classico "Il libro della giungla". E' la storia della grande guerra che Rikki-tikki-tavi combattè da solo, nelle stanze del bagno del grande bungalow nell'acquartieramento di Segowlee. Darzee, l'uccello-sarto lo aiutò, e Chuchundra, il topo muschiato, che non passa mai in mezzo al pavimento ma scivola sempre lungo le pareti, lo consigliò; ma fu Rikki-tikki-tavi a combattere la vera battaglia. Età di lettura: da 8 anni.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This is the story of the great war that Rikki-tikki-tavi fought single-handed, through the bath-rooms of the big bungalow in Segowlee cantonment. Darzee, the tailor-bird, helped him, and Chuchundra, the musk-rat, who never comes out into the middle of the floor, but always creeps round by the wall, gave him advice; but Rikki-tikki did the real fighting. He was a mongoose, rather like a little cat in his fur and his tail, but quite like a weasel in his head and habits. His eyes and the end of his restless nose were pink; he could scratch himself anywhere he pleased, with any leg, front or back, that he chose to use; he could fluff up his tail till it looked like a bottle-brush, and his war-cry, as he scuttled through the long grass, was: 'Rikk-tikk-tikki-tikki-tchk!'
