Talk:The Second Jungle Book

[Untitled]

"Customized classics" are a range of "editions" that put your picture on the cover, add a happy ending to Romeo and Juliet, and replace the names in the texts with the names of your choice: "Oh, Brad, Brad, wherefore art thou Brad?" You can get a customized edition of Moby Dick, with either Ahab or Moby bearing your own name. I'm trying hard to suppose that such links are added in good faith, and not as vandalism. Try to imagine EB referring to this type of product in its articles about literary classics. Wikipedia is a serious encyclopedia too. I've removed one of these links from this article, just as I have removed the same user's nonsense text in Romance novel and Romantic fiction. --Bishonen 18:58, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Number of stories

Are there 16 stories, or eight? --Uncle Ed (talk) 22:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Eight stories, each of which is followed by a related poem. There are also eight pieces of verse at the head of each story, 2 or more lines long.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:31, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Proposal to merge with The Jungle Book

Reject. This is a separate and distinct, though related, work, and deserves to be treated as such. Lee M (talk) 02:52, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

[Followed by the third jungle book?]

Was just wondering, why is there a link toward the "Third Jungle Book"? That does not seem justifiable, since the original writer Kipling only wrote the First and Second Jungle Books. The link toward that third jungle book seems like an attempt at leeching from the success and popularity of Kipling's work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.190.102.91 (talk) 12:18, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Point; hadn't noticed that yet. Yep, that's a little misleading and shouldnt be stated in the box in that way. Removed. (It can still be found under "Derivative works".) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:28, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
