What is the author's style in The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling?

As the stories of Jungle Book are, at least outwardly, children's stories, Kipling uses simple sentences and structure to tell his stories. Although they are written for children to be able to understand, the stories also have a broad appeal and application. While they are written as fanciful stories about talking wolves, bears and panthers, similar characters and actions are easily found in the human community, in our own time as well as Kipling's. The simple elegance of his stories is timeless.
