Rudyard Kipling was born in India and worked as a journalist there after moving to England as a child. The story is about a mongoose named Rikki-Tikki-Tavi who is adopted by a family in India and protects their home and garden from two evil cobras named Nag and Nagaina. Rikki ultimately kills both snakes to save the family and keep the other animals in the garden safe. The story explores interactions between Rikki and animals like Darzee the tailorbird and his relationship with Teddy's family.
