Durante el invierno de 1892, Kipling recordó un cuento que había escrito años atrás, en el que un personaje era criado por los lobos, igual que si se tratara de un lobezno. Y allí, en un gabinete de trabajo rodeado de nieve desde diciembre hasta abril, Rudyard Kipling recogio aquella idea, y, moldeando aqui, ampliando alla y creando una galeria de inolvidables personajes, fue dando forma al Libro de la Selva, que posteriormente ampliaria con un nuevo y definitivo volumen. Asi broto este libro maravilloso, de la pluma de un escritor excepcional que, como ha dicho Borges, era, despues de Shakespeare, el unico autor ingles que escribia con todo el diccionario.
