Kipling's India was my Dad's India, and for all his colonialist/imperialist leanings, he lvoed the land of his birth, which is why I've always felt this book belonged in Hindi. As a plus, I'm delighted that the translator has kept it at a kid-friendly vocabulary and grammar level, since that means it's also non-L1 learner-friendly If I can finish it, the first Hindi fiction I've ever attempted, I'll be content wityh callling my 2018 Reading Challenge a success
Welcome, Stuart. Yours is a great personal challenge.

I hope you enjoy The Jungle Book. I have several copies of both volumes and it is a wonderful set of stories.
