    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.

A lovely reminder of my youth

As a boy I loved the jungle book. This was a well narrated audio book that brought old memories flooding back. Cannot believe this is available free of charge!

Great interpretation

Concisely told, but excellently presented, with great performances from an all star cast. Worth a listen.

Incredible audiobook

Amazing production, different voices for each character, and great voice acting, and additional animal and jungle sounds, means this story as an audiobook is immersive and great. A proper production. (even without the Disney songs!)

Amazing!

Great performances overall, they really make you feel in the jungle. I only knew the "light" version of the story, so I'm definitely getting the book.
