ATHENAEUM." We tender our sincere thanks to Mr. Kipling for the hour of pure and unadulterated enjoyment which he has given us, and many another reader, by this inimitable Jungle Book."

SATURDAY REVIEW."In this latest evidence of the versatility of his talent, Mr. Kipling shows us once more how close an observer he is, how little escapes his attention when once he rivets it upon an object, and with what brilliant intuition he creates a plausible and coherent impression."

PUNCH.—** Æsop's Fables and dear old Brer Fox and Co.,' observes The Baron sagely, may have suggested to the fanciful genius of Rudyard Kipling the delightful idea, carried out in the most fascinating style of The Jungle Book.""

DAILY NEWS. 1lere is a book for youngsters of all ages from nine to ninety. . . . The stories of The White Seal,' Toomai of the Elephants, and the three or four others are delightful to read."

SPECTATOR.—This fascinating little book on the life of the Jungle. ... Mr. Rudyard Kipling is a master in allegory of a much higher kind than any which Esop ever produced."

GUARDIAN-"Mr. Rudyard Kipling is at his best with birds, beasts, and fishes. His masterly handling of the language and feeling of the jungle shows that he is at ease there, and it is quite evident that Baghera the Panther and Baloo the Dear are as real to him as Mowgli himself."

DAILY CHRONICLE.-"A book more nearly approaching the ideal of a book for children we have never seen. ... Mr. Kipling has added to his long roll of successes a most wise and delightful book."
