The Jungle Book

Are their any well edited editions of The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book that include illustrations? The closest I've seen is from Looking Glass Library, but that one seems to only include the Mowgli stories.

You can find both in the library here on MR, but I've not looked into them myself so I don't know about illustrations. Easy to check for yourself though.

Those ones unfortunately don't include the illustrations and just use the un-proofed Project Gutenberg text.

Distributed Proofreaders created new illustrated editions of The Jungle Book, The Second Jungle Book and Kim, for Project Gutenberg last year. Unfortunately, it's hard to spot them because the early text-only editions show up first in the "sort by popularity" because they've been downloaded over a decade or more.

Thanks, that's perfect. I've downloaded them and plan to start reading them soon. Sadly, I've been wanting to read them even since reading Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book.
