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)
