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"?

1. Richard Adams
   
2. Edgar Rice Bourroughs
   
3. James Barrie
   
4. L. Frank Baum
   

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).
