    Jul 4 2018

    Hunted by the fearsome tiger Shere Khan, a defenceless young man-cub is taken in by a family of wolves who name him Mowgli. Brought before Akela, the head of the wolf pack, Mowgli finds acceptance but also earns the tiger's wrath, who swears that one day the boy will be his.

    With the guidance of Baloo the bear and Bagheera the black panther, Mowgli must quickly learn the ways of the jungle if he is ever to survive.

    In Audible's award-winning dramatisation of Kipling's classic tale, Mowgli's fate is magically, dramatically and faithfully brought to life by a cast that features the voice talents of Richard E Grant, Colin Salmon, Bill Bailey, Tim McInnerny and Celia Imrie.

Wonderful.

Voices, sounds and song well mingled. I don't usually like multiple-cast readings, but this was just enchanting.
Really well done.

This is an exquisite reading of the jungle book. Thankyou! I thoroughly enjoyed the dramatic show, and although it was rewritten for this it was well done and true to the original.

A treat for all ages!

Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book is brought to life in this Audible Dramatisation and one can't help but reminisce these stories that I read as a kid.
