Review
"The Jungle Book was one of those rare books that I felt I was actually living as I read it" (Michael Morpurgo)
"The original stories of The Jungle Book surpass all rollicking Disneyfied expectations. On one level, the Mancub's education is pure entertainment; on another, the jungle is symbolic of Kipling's philosophy of life, a moral playground in which the young learn to swing on the vines of life" (The Times)
"The incantatory text of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Books still rewards reading aloud" (Sunday Times)
"Around a century ago, Rudyard Kipling laid the foundations of modern children's literature with works such as The Jungle Book, Just So Stories and Puck of Pook's Hill. Far from the fusty Victorian conventions of the time, they were wild, magnificent stories that felt as though they'd always existed, stories people might have told each other in the caves" (Daily Telegraph)
"So what makes these different to any other set of classics? In a moment of inspiration Random House had the bright idea of actually asking Key stage 2 children what extra ingredients they could add to make children want to read. And does it work? Well, put it this way...my 13-year-old daughter announced that she had to read a book over the summer holiday and, without any prompting, spotted The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas...and proceeded to read it! Now, if you knew my 13-year-old daughter, you would realise that this is quite remarkable. She reads texts, blogs and tags by the thousand - but this is the first book she has read since going to high school, so all hail Vintage Classics!" (National Association for the Teaching of English)

Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Good. Kincaid, Eric (illustrator). Rights sold to: China (Horizon Media), Germany (Fischer), Greece (Potamos), Hungary (Europa), Israel (Resling), Italy (Guanda), Korea (Sol), Norway (Engelstad), Romania (Nemira), Serbia (Stylos), Taiwan (Ecus), Vietnam (Thai Ha)Eleven voices, eleven characters recount the end of a love story.How did it happen? Irritation, indifferent kisses, conflicts, romances that are failures from the start: all in all, the couple is unveiled, without the prop of fiction.This is a depiction of the couple ripped apart and in pain, when you cannot stand each other anymore; when you have stopped dreaming together; when you are about to break-up. You start explaining the situation to the children. Or you think you can catch up the lost time and you shut your mouth to avoid creating irreversible damages.The end of love is also the disappearance of the loved one, the person you talk to in the dark and without whom you loose your sense of place.These are familiar stories, where we find again the small bargains, the disillusions, as well as the violence that one experiences in such situations. These are tales of ordinary lives, from women and men as they launch into the old adventure of love. Sparse and intense, in the vein of Brigitte Giraud's celebrated style, this radical and deeply affecting book testifies to the author's unique ability to convey the fragility of beings, and offers a lucid and critical account of life as a couple.Brigitte Giraud was born in Algeria in 1960. She has worked as a journalist as well as a book keeper. She is programming director of the Festival of Bron, an important literary event taking place in the region of Lyon where she now resides. She has written four novels, La Chambre des parents (Fayard, 1997), Nico (Stock, 1999), Mar e noire (Stock, 2004), J'apprends (Stock, 2005), and a novella, pr sent (Stock, 2001).
