三民網路書店《叢林故事》另譯《森林王子》，藉由動物擬人化的演出，再現了人類社會的本質：正義與勇氣對抗邪惡與貪婪。英國作家吉卜林將自己在印度出生成長的經歷融入書中，建構了一個人性化的動物世界，把讀者帶到文明所未觸及到的原始森林的迷人氛圍裡，他所創造的動物形象，不僅栩栩如生，廣為迪士尼卡通動畫電影所採用；更重要的，他藉由叢林動物族群之間的互動，闡明了人類社會與社會規範的要求。
Presents the adventures of Mowgli, a young boy raised by the animals in an Indian jungle, as well as other animal stories and songs.
The Jungle Books can be regarded as classic stories told by an adult to children. But they also constitute a complex literary work of art in which the whole of Kipling's philosophy of life is expressed in miniature. They are best known for the 'Mowgli' stories; the tale of a baby abandoned and brought up by wolves, educated in the ways and secrets of the jungle by Kaa the python, Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the black panther. The stories, a mixture of fantasy, myth, and magic, are underpinned by Kipling's abiding preoccupation with the theme of self-discovery, and the nature of the 'Law'.
