There was a time when Rudyard Kipling had taken the readers on the flight of his imagination in “The Jungle Book”. In this, a modern relfection of Kipling can be seen in “Wild Wold: The Adventures of Bali and Bhola” by Deepak Arora. For once, it may seem to be inspired by Kipling but reading, the book clearly assumes an individuality of its own and keeps the readers fixed.
The readers are attracted to the substance of the book from the very cover and are well aware that they are in for something interesting. The story may be in the fable form, yet there is the presence of humans or human activities here and there. That provides the element of modernity and the touch of the present. The readers get a clear view of how human activities have affected animal lives. This makes the reading of the open to readers of all ages. Since the book has pictures here and there, young children are likely to enjoy it. Parents who want to develop reading habits in their children and go for this book and can try reading it themselves too.
