Set in the Indian jungles and the Indian village scenario the first few stories in this book by Rudyard Kipling revolve around Mowngli's world. Baloo the bear, Bagheera the black panther, Akela the wolf and Sherkhan the cruel tiger also play lead roles enhancing the book's impact (these names are the Hindi names of the animals). Next comes a seal's tale and his fight for providing his fellow seals with a home that is pest-free (human free)! 'Rikki-Tikki-Tavi' is a feel good story about a young pet mongoose and his bravery. 'Her majesty's servants' is the only story in the book which I did not like and which bored me. It included the boring conversations of animals in an Indian cantonment area. Each and every story is accompanied by one or more lovely poems which the reader wouldn't enjoy without the context of the story whom it follows. 'Toomai of the elephants'  is a tale that allows you to peer into the world of Indian elephants and their secret dance. Altogether the book provided an enjoyable experience.</div>

Letters from a father to his daughter

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">A book of history packed into a set of letters, written in the easiest possible way and conveying a lot through just a few words. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru is the author of  these letters which not only carry history and data but also many moral values and view points written in connection with the content. These letters were originally written in order to make little Indu (Indira Gandhi at the age of ten) understand the nature's book, develop  love towards nature, know the history of mankind and the logics behind vast subjects like religion. Thus the language is extremely simple . The book I read had lovely illustrations too! I enjoyed the book. Even though there was no story indeed, the author managed to draw one from the depths of past itself. The letters end abruptly and I badly wish that they would go on for a little longer. As soon as I read the first chapter's( rather letter's name) I was glued to the book. Read this book as it will not only enhance your knowledge but will also heighten your mindset.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrzsG1674r8KBIJxlDAeF-YcgtGMUdwrwm5hmf3yMGFYFfRq9n4nU1Amltj8-YfOtKtQ3o2z2r32LD_2nHjH3aAOc9uz7XdKMROwd0SjVqVvbzHFc0IqHM4hN3_PffiD2X_c2mbCFq4xg/s1600/letters_from_father.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrzsG1674r8KBIJxlDAeF-YcgtGMUdwrwm5hmf3yMGFYFfRq9n4nU1Amltj8-YfOtKtQ3o2z2r32LD_2nHjH3aAOc9uz7XdKMROwd0SjVqVvbzHFc0IqHM4hN3_PffiD2X_c2mbCFq4xg/s1600/letters_from_father.jpg" width="192" /></a></div><br /></div>
