Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book: The Mowgli Stories by Rudyard KiplingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hooter: An audio dramatization of Mowgli and the Jungle Book
A lot of us have grown up with "Jungle jungle baat chali hai pata chala hai ki chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai" or the Doodarshan TV mornings with Jungle book in hindi. That obviously has created a certain image of Jungle book. The recent Disney movie adaptation added a visual dimension to it but this audio series was a good refresher with some great vocal variety.
This is also a pretty quick one - about 140 minutes of good drama and energy, The story no doubt is well etched in everyone's mind about a man cub growing up with the pack of wolves taught by a panther Bagheera and a bear Baloo with a strong friend in a python called Kaa as he deals with his nemesis Sher Khan and the irritating Bander log.
I rated this higher primarily for the nostalgia component along with some great audio production which doesn't try to go over the top or stereotype accents and voices.
