Thanks so much for understanding. Ana x _ Reviews: Rundell’s writing is an intoxicating mix of precision and wildness [...] makes this an exceptional gift book’ (The Bookseller) These are unforgettable tales of friendship, bravery and jungle lore, and Rundell's writing is an intoxicating mix of precision and wildness... and the lush drama and colour of [Williams'] work makes this an exceptional gift book. (Fiona Noble Bookseller, Editor's Pick) Following her Amazon-inspired Costa win Rundell transports us to the Indian jungle for a collection of origin stories for Kipling's best-loved Jungle Book characters, told with charm, with and personality. For children of seven plus, with lush, wild illustrations by Williams. (Fiona Noble Bookseller Children's Buyer Guide, Highlights of the Season) These beginnings resonate with echoes of Kipling’s original and Just So Stories. They are written with mischievous scatological jokes, lively action and characteristic precision and surprise, because, as Baloo says, language “matters more than anything else”. The stories savour the profusion of the rainforest, as do Williams’s spectacularly lavish collages of engravings of animals and plants. (Sunday Times, children's book of the week)
