One of the things that struck me while reading the Graveyard Book, even though I was already expecting it, was how closely Kipling's Jungle Book and The Graveyard Book ran to each other. Since this was done by design, it's not hugely surprising. However, I'm wondering what little details they shared. I randomly just happened to bring a copy of the Jungle Book from home with me to school, so I'm going to look over it tonight and try to get a list together.
So what similarities did others notice outside of the obvious structural similarities? Also, out of curiosity, what is everyone's opinion on the Jungle Book being possibly classified as a fantasy novel?
