take a whiff on me

I'm sure you all know about newer versions of older books being edited for content. I'm not sure what it's technically called- but when books like The Jungle Book have been edited for having being too violent for children, and too hard to understand. I would like to know if any of you knew how I can tell which versions are edited, and which are not.
Because I am looking to read The Jungle Book, but I want the original text.


Any information would be greatly appreciated. I've been stuck on this for weeks.

Abridged is the word you're looking for. You want the unabridged text to read it as he wrote it.

Right. But there's another word for it, I know it. Theres ABRIDGED, and then there was another one. I can't remember what it was though.

Oh, Ha, y'know what? I just remembered it right now as I was talking to my friend. Nevermind.

But still, does anyone know Titles the original Jungle Book goes under?
I mean, like, who publishes the original still?

I'm sure lots of places do... I'd imagine Norton publishes critical editions of it (or at least anthologized ones). Oxford publishes a lot of the classics, as does Penguin.

You know, you could always take a quick jaunt over to amazon.com and look there.
