‎The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book.‎

‎London: Macmillan 1894-95. First edition second printings of both volumes of The Jungle Book finely bound in full morocco. Octavo two volumes bound in full morocco by Atelier with gilt titles and tooling to the spines in six compartments within raised bands triple gilt ruling and fleuron cornerpieces to the front and rear panels gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles marbled endpapers all edges gilt illustrated with engravings by J. L. Kipling W.H. Drake and P. Frenzeny including tissue-guarded frontispiece to Volume I. With the original cloth spines front and rear panels bound in at the rear of each volume. In fine condition. An exceptional set of these classic children's books. The Jungle Book is a collection of fables which provide moral instruction by using animals anthropomorphically. Each story begins and ends with a verse and the original publications contain some illustrations created by Rudyard's father John Lockwood Kipling. The inspiration for the book is evident. Kipling was born in India and he spent his childhood there. Interestingly Kipling wrote these stories when he lived in Vermont. The Jungle Book is used to develop the morale of the junior element of the Scouting movement "The Cub Scouts". The name of the head wolf "Akela" has been traditionally given to each Cub Scout pack leader. At least fifteen movies were released based on Kipling's stories beginning with Elephant Boy in 1937. A live-action anticipated version of Jungle Book will be released in October of 2018 by Warner Brothers. Macmillan hardcover books‎

We have more books available by this author!. 229 pp. "After an affair with a Mrs. Agnes Keith-Wessington in Simla the narrator Jack repudiates her and eventually becomes engaged to Miss Kitty Mannering. Yet Mrs. Wessington continually reappears in Jack's life begging him to reconsider insisting that it was all just a mistake. But Jack wants nothing to do with her and continues to spurn her. Eventually Mrs. Wessington dies much to Jack's relief. However some time thereafter he sees her old rickshaw and assumes that someone has bought it. Then to his astonishment the rickshaw and the men pulling it pass through a horse revealing themselves to be phantoms bearing the departed ghost of Mrs. Wessington. This leads Jack into increasingly erratic behavior which he tries to cover up by concocting increasingly elaborate lies to assuage Kitty's suspicions. Eventually a Dr. Heatherlegh takes him in supposing the visions to be the result of disease or madness. Despite their efforts Kitty and her family become increasingly suspicious and eventually call off the engagement. Jack loses hope and begins wandering the city aimlessly accompanied by the ghost of Mrs. Wessington. American Publishers Corporation hardcover books‎
