First published in 1894, the book imagines a child living and flourishing in a community of animals - an idea that perhaps had its origin in Kipling's unhappy childhood. 'His stories are not animal stories in the realistic sense; they are wonderful, beautiful fairy tales, ' wrote Ernest Thompson Seton, the great Canadian naturalist. Kurt Wiese's illustrations, commissoned by the American firm of Doubleday in 1932, have never appeared in Britain before. An artist with a particular interest in animals and an amazing visual memory, he remembered all he had observed on his travels in the Far East during the early 1900s, first as a salesman in China and then as a prisoner-of-war of the Japanese.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45247547441335,"sku":"9781857159325","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9781857159325.jpg?v=1757158653","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781857159325","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
