The Jungle Book

60 min

Rudyard Kipling's 1894 stories, retold for sleep. Mowgli among the wolves, and the warm night sounds of the jungle all around him.

Retold for sleep from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, first published in 1894 and long out of copyright. The story is Kipling's; every sentence here is our own.

Deep, slow, spacious

Low, slow and spacious, a gentle cadence with long pauses, tuned for the dark and made to be drifted off to.
