    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.

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!)

Incredible audiobook

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.
