The jungle book is a tale of a baby abandoned and brought up by wolves, educated in the ways and secrets of the jungle by Kaa the python, Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the black panther. The story is a mixture of fantasy, myth, and magic, underpinned by Kipling's abiding preoccupation with the theme of self-discovery, and the nature of the 'Law'.

Trumet in a fog; a fog blown in during the night by the wind from the wide Atlantic. So wet and heavy that one might taste the salt in it.
