A masterpiece
The likes of this is seldom found nowadays. A delight and a treasure and Disney version does not do it justice.

Wonderful Narration of Favourite Tales
As problematic as Kipling's tales often are, they're indisputably brilliant observations of human and animal behaviour. Allowing for the various prejudices and scientific ignorance of the time, these stories are incredibly insightful and beautifully written. Personally, I find them magical, and I'm thrilled to have found an unabridged version.
As to the narration: I don't think it could be improved. This is better than versions using 5+ voice actors, and I've listened to the entire set of tales twice through, since buying it. Cosham's made a new fan this week.

A true classic!
I am doing a tour of the ‘classics’, which is certainly no easy going. Horrors like Moby Dick and Little women makes you doubt the sanity of the wisdom of the crowds.
As a result, I was really pleased with these books. Interesting, funny and novel. Greatly recommended!

This is not the Disney version.
You have to concentrate as the language spoken is old English. It doesn't help that the tone of the narrator's voice is likely to send you to sleep.

Superb
A beautiful reading of one of the best short story collections in the English language. If you’ve never read Kipling before, then start your journey here. Recommended.

Reasonable
I have the physical copy of The Jungle Book but couldn’t get into the writing style so when I saw the audiobook thought I would give it a go.
I liked the story and the narrator was ok. Whilst I understand it is unabridged which is my preference on audiobooks…
I wish that there was some acknowledgment of when the main Story of Mowgli has ended before going onto the short stories of afterwards in the first book.
It was easier to listen to then to read for me and not my typical writing style.

truly, a classic novel.
Written in 1894, Kipling's love of India and it's animals is sure to warm anyone's heart. listening to these short stories again left me moved and nostalgic, recalling my mother reading it to me as a small child. Hearing Rikki-Tikki-Tavi again was an absolute joy. I also discovered new nuances in the wonderful Mowgli stories. You can not go wrong with this book.
