About the Book
A collection of linked stories set in the jungles of India follows a human baby who is raised by wolves after escaping a tiger, learning the laws of the jungle from a bear, a panther, and other animal teachers — while the threat of the tiger who wants him dead looms in the background. The stories are vivid, morally clear, and filled with a sense of wildness and belonging.
