Der zweite, weniger bekannte Band des Dschungelbuchs vereint all diejenigen Dschungelbuch-Texte Kiplings, die nicht von Mogli, sondern von anderen, ebenso faszinierenden Helden erzählen: von der weißen Robbe Kotick, die aufgrund ihrer Fellfarbe von brutalen Robbenfängern verschont wird und von da an dafür kämpft, auch ihre Artgenossen zu retten. Vom kleinen Mungo Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, der seine Familie mehrmals vor giftigen Schlangen beschützt.

En av nobelpristagarens Kiplings mest älskade verk, nästefter Djungelboken, kretsar kring den föräldralösa Kim som lever ett kringströvande liv i Indien i början av 1900-talet som då låg under brittiskt styre. Han får sitt levebröd av att tigga och göra ärenden på gatorna i staden Lahore (idag i Pakistan) och läsaren får ta del av färgstarka skildringar av bazarernas vimmel, den religiösa och kulturella mångfalden. Kim blir snart lärjunge till en tibetansk lama och tar därefter värvning i underrättelsetjänsten i kriget mot Ryssland.

This playful tale is one of the best known of Rudyard Kipling’s Just So stories. In this one, pride and arrogance prove to be the downfall of a lazy camel.

He told children wonderful accounts of how the animal kingdom's eccentricities came about.

The Just So Stories began as bedtime stories told to "Effie" (Josephine, Kipling's firstborn). When the first three were published in a children's magazine, a year before her death, Kipling explained: "....in the evening, there were stories meant to put Effie to sleep, and you were not allowed to alter those by one single little word. They had to be told just so; or Effie would wake up and put back the missing sentence." (Wikipedia)
