<p><em>The Jungle Book</em> introduces Mowgli, the human foundling adopted by a family of wolves. It tells of the enmity between him and the tiger Shere Khan, who killed Mowgli's parents, and of the friendship between the man-cub and Bagheera, the black panther, and Baloo, the sleepy brown bear, who instructs Mowgli in the Laws of the Jungle.</p>
<p><em>The Second Jungle Book</em> contains some of the most thrilling of the Mowgli stories. It includes <em>Red Dog</em>, in which Mowgli forms an unlikely alliance with the python Kaa, <em>How Fear Came</em> and <em>Letting in the Jungle</em> as well as <em>The Spring Running</em>, which brings Mowgli to manhood and the realisation that he must leave Bagheera, Baloo and his other friends for the world of man.</p>
