The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned 'man cub' Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle." Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time. The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. These stories were written when Kipling lived in Vermont.The tales in the book (and also those in The Second Jungle Book which followed in 1895, and which includes five further stories about Mowgli) are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. After about ten years in England, he went back to India and worked there for about six-and-half years. Kipling was born in India and spent the first six years of his childhood there.
