Description
An intense, vivid story of the life of a boy in the jungle. It throbs with life, and is full of color and action.
In reading it, one lives, as it were, for a time in the jungle thickly peopled by creatures of the wild, and learns their ways in rich and fascinating adventure-the thrill of tiger hunting, the tracking of the elephant, the rush of the floods, a death-struggle between a tiger and a leopard, daily life lived in the company of the wild buffalo, the rhinoceros, the panther, the stag, the friendly monkeys, and other inhabitants of the jungle.
Even when the action halts to a movement of suspense, the reader holds his breath in the stillness of the sinister jungle night.
