It began when retired tailor Joseph Schwartz was walking down a street in Chicago, past the Institute for Nuclear Research. He raised one foot in the twentieth century; he lowered it in Galactic Era 827, the victim of an odd accident inside the Institute involving an experiment with crude uranium.
Schwartz awoke to a strange world -- he was still on Earth, but at a time when all the planets of the Galaxy were inhabited, and the people of Earth were outcasts, suffering vindictive discrimination because their tiny world was radioactive. Then, strangely, he found himself the only man who could avert an impending cosmic disaster. But Schwartz, homesick and confused, wasn't sure he even cared!
“They sprang to their feet and hurried to the shore toward the town. They parted the bushes on the bank and peered out over the water. The little steam ferry boat was about a mile below the village, drifting with the current. Her broad deck seemed crowded with people. There were a great many skiffs rowing about or floating with the stream in the neighborhood of the ferry boat, but the boys could not determine what the men in them were doing. Presently a great jet of white smoke burst from the ferry boat’s side, and as it expanded and rose in a lazy cloud, that same dull throb of sound was borne to the listeners again.
“I know now!” exclaimed Tom; “somebody’s drownded!”
“That’s it!” said Huck; “they done that last summer, when Bill Turner got drownded; they shoot a cannon over the water, and that makes him come up to the top. Yes, and they take loaves of bread and put quicksilver in ‘em and set ‘em afloat, and wherever there’s anybody that’s drownded, they’ll float right there and stop.” [From “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” pp. 125-126]

The White Cobra is used as an ornamental design for the poem “The Song of the Little Hunter,” which is also the basis for the gilt-stamped decoration on the front cover of the book.
“The Second Jungle Book” is a sequel to “The Jungle Book” by English author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936). First published in 1895, it features five stories about Mowgli, the abandoned boy who is raised by wolves, and three unrelated stories. All but one is set in India and all were previously published in magazines in 1894-5. Kipling was born in India, spent the first six years of his childhood there and returned as an adult to work there for about six-and-a-half years. He put into his stories everything he knew about the Indian jungle. His father, John Lockwood Kipling, spent most of his career in British India as Principal of the Mayo School of Arts and curator of the Lahore Museum. He did the illustrations for the book.
“They had started down the hill by this time. There in the middle of the moonlit valley below them stood the “ha’nted” house, utterly isolated, its fences gone long ago, rank weeds smothering the very doorsteps, the chimney crumbled to ruin, the window-sashes vacant, a corner of the roof caved in. The boys gazed awhile, half expecting to see a blue light flit past a window; then talking in a low tone, as befitted the time and the circumstances, they struck far off to the right, to give the haunted house a wide berth, and took their way homeward through the woods that adorned the rearward side of Cardiff Hill.” [From “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” page 198]
