After the first trailer was released for the 2016 The Jungle Book, I read comments on reddit saying that the original short story was darker than the Disney film we know from the 60s. I found out that it was on Project Gutenberg and only 20 pages long, so I read it a day or two later.
It was interesting to read something so old, and on which such a classic film is based. It was short and simple, and pretty unrealistically pro-humans, but it had snippets of ideas that were interesting. The sort of thing that Kipling presumably learned while living in India.
