The second in a series of illustrated classics,
The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling's classic collection of fables, gets reimagined in this deluxe gift edition featuring stunning new artwork and nine interactive features from the award-winning design studio behind the graphics for the Harry Potter film franchise, MinaLima.
The book is timed to coincide with the first of two upcoming major motion pictures. The first titled
The Jungle Book, is being directed by Jon Favreau and is set to release April 15th 2016, starring Scarlett Johansson as the voice of Kaa, Bill Murray as the voice of Baloo, Idris Elba as the voice of Shere Khan, Christopher Walken as the voice of King Louie, and Ben Kingsley as the voice of Bagheera. The second film,
Jungle Book: Origins, is scheduled to release October 6th 2017 and will be the directorial debut of Andy Serkis, who will also perform the voice of Baloo. The film includes such A-list actors as Christian Bale as the voice of Bagheera, Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of Shere Khan, and Cate Blanchett as the voice of Kaa.
First published in 1893, Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book is considered a masterpiece in the genre of children's literature and short story writing. The book is composed of seven tales, each one with an accompanying poem. The first three tales, and perhaps the most famous, tell the story of the jungle boy Mowgli, and includes a cast of such familiar characters as the black panther Bagheera, the wise brown bear Baloo, and the ruthless tiger Shere Khan. The other four tales each tell the story of a different animal, such as the travels of the white seal Kotick; the battle between the courageous mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and the deadly cobra Nag; Toomai and the elephant dance; and lastly, the camp animals of the queen's guard. The second in Harper Design's newest series of deluxe reimagined children's classics, this new unabridged gift edition takes readers into the heart of the jungle with specially commissioned artwork and ten exclusive interactive features.
MinaLima is a highly regarded graphic design studio based in London. Unique and imaginative in their style, the studio is renowned as the design team behind one of the largest film franchises of all time, Harry Potter, which has garnered them worldwide attention and praise. Similar to their work for Harper Design's gift edition of Peter Pan, The Jungle Book will have an in-world feel with stunning new four color illustrations and nine exclusive inserts, including a map of the lost Indian city where Mowgli is taken by the monkeys, a trifold detailing the Laws of the Jungle, the hypnotic dance of the python Kaa, and a spinning dial of the elephant dance.
