Similar condition, therefore described as a pair. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt, front cover with Ganesha's roundel in gilt, top edge gilt. Wear to extremities and hinges, significant bumping to corners, crushing to spine tips, a little soiling and staining to covers and spines. Edges are darkened with a little foxing and staining, there is offsetting particularly to prelims, as well as moderate thumb marking and some creases to pages throughout. Text block square, but front and rear hinges cracked with netting exposed, as well as several cracks throughout. Bookplate to front paste-downs. Well loved books, but complete and without further flaws; as described.
The Jungle Book, alongside the Second Jungle Book, were loosely adapted into the 1967 and 2016 Disney movies of the same name.
