Tiger! Tiger! (Kipling short story)

"Tiger! Tiger!": logo and illustration by Will H. Drake, St. Nicholas Magazine, Vol. XXI, 1894.

"Tiger! Tiger!" is a short story by Rudyard Kipling. A direct sequel to "Mowgli's Brothers", it was published in magazines in 1893–94 before appearing as the third story in The Jungle Book (1894), following "Kaa's Hunting". The title is derived from William Blake's poem "The Tyger".

The story focuses on Mowgli's alienation from wolf and human society, which both reject him.[1]
