Question: Which author is Kipling referring to when he writes "He had 'jazzed' the motif of the "Jungle Books" and, I imagine, had thorougly enjoyed himself"?
Incorrect Answer
Correct Answer He was referring, of course, to "Tarzan of the Apes". Kipling himself was inspired in a way by something he had read in childhood. "...a tale about a lion-hunter in South Africa who fell among lions who were all freemasons, and with them entered into a confederacy against some wicked baboons. I think that, too, lay dormant until the "Jungle Books" began to be born." (This, and the above quote, from "Something of Myself", 1937).
