The jungle of India is awesome -- where beauty and mortal danger walk hand in hand. Every creature knows its place and jungle life flows on, at its own sweet rhythm. Thus, deadly enemies -- Rajah the mighty tiger, and Ananta the venomous king cobra -- live together in harmony. The jungle has a problem: Man. Greedy and ruthless, he shoots to kill for profit. He hunts Rajah for his beautiful coat. Each attempt is thwarted by the resourceful animals of the jungle. Will the animals be able to outwit the treacherous plots, and keep their friend and ruler safe? Written lyrically, with vivid illustrations, this evocative book makes a unique contribution to children's literature.
