Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling was born in India in 1865. After intermittently moving between India and England during his early life, he settled in the latter in 1889, published his novel The Light That Failed in 1891 and married Caroline (Carrie) Balestier the following year. They returned to her home in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Kipling wrote both The Jungle Book and its sequel, as well as Captains Courageous. He continued to write prolifically and was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 but his later years were darkened by the death of his son John at the Battle of Loos in 1915. He died in 1936.

Reviews for Rikki-Tikki-Tavi

[drruth_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Jerry Pinkney's illustrated version of Kipling's thrilling story of the mongoose who defends his family's household from deadly cobras captures the beauty of India while maintaining the power of Rikki Tikki's enemies. This is one of my children's favorites.

My favorite of Kipling's works. Rikki is one of the cutest protagonists I have ever seen. The illustrations for this book are a phenomenal addition to a beautiful story.

This book is about a mongoose that washes upon a shore of a family that owns a garden full of animals. Some of the animals including bireds and vicious snakes. Rikki Tikki is not afraid of anything or any animal. He kills some of the most vicious snakes in the garden and protects his human family throughout the entire book. When some other snakes want revenge for killing their brothers, Rikki Tikki outsmarts the snakes and kills them as well. Rikki Tikki was a hero.

Rikki Tikki Tavi er et desmerdyr. Skrædderfuglen Darzi og moskusrotten Kukundra slås mod brilleslangerne Nag og Nagaina. De redder drengen Teddy og hans forældre fra både den lille slange Karait og brilleslangeparret.En klassisk børnebog

The Classic tale of a mongoose pitted against the cobras and welcomed among his human family for it. Set culturally and language wise in the late 1800s, and the ruling classes during the occupation of the British Empire, it may be a little 'dated' but it's a perfect short story of the animal underdog winning the day.

One of my favorites from childhood. Still an outstanding short story. It is amazing how much information Kipling puts into the story.

A young mongoose, named Rikki-tikki-tavi makes a new home with a human family. He earns the family's trust and appreciation by protecting them and saving them from the dangerous snakes on their land.The book would be beneficial in a discussion about pets, how they are treated, and how pet owners feel about their various pets.

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, a mongoose, lives with a small family in India. He finds out that two cobras, Nag and his wife Nagaina, are planning to kill the two adults and their young son Teddy. The clever mongoose decides to protect them and to take on the dangerous snakes. I first got to know this story through the 1970s animated movie and I fell in love with the brave animal. The book is even better.

I've love the story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi since I was a little boy and this Rudyard Kipling story is complimented by beautiful artwork by Jerry Pinkney who does an excellent job of bringing to life the characters. the story follows Rikki a mongoose as he is taken in by a family and how he protects the little boy from snakes that are trying to kill him.
