Description from the packaging.

Westwind Media is proud to present Rikki-Tikki-Tavi!
"This is the story of the great war Rikki-tikki-tavi fought single-handed, through the bath-rooms of the big bungalow..."

Thus begins the immortal Rudyard Kipling tale (from his Jungle Books collection) about a most unusual hero fighting a most unusual "great war!"

Accompany Rikki, mongoose extraordinaire, as he saves a cast of characters from an evil pair of vengeful, venomous cobras.

You'll meet the well-intentioned, but uneasy, English family, a charming, cowardly muskrat, Chuchundra, and the foolish, happy-go-lucky bard of a bird, Darzee. Intrepid Rikki is as entertaining as he is instructive, battling fearsome forces in a rocky rite of passage!

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is recreated for CD-ROM featuring:

  • Exquisite illustrations.
  • Dozens of eye-catching animations.
  • A heart-pounding musical score (including Kipling's verses set and sung to music).
  • Easy-to-use interface.
  • A fully-narrated story and glossary.
  • Handsomely designed reference screens.
  • Page-by-page literary analysis of the story.

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is multimedia at its finest: Explosive, rhythmic, and engaging, this easily run program is both an excellent approach to many elements of literary analysis and an enjoyable, exciting reading experience!

Swing from the tail of Nag
with the savvy Mr. Tavi-
his spirits never flag-
he's a mongoose, not a cavy!
