THE CITY OF DREADFUL NIGHT and Other Places
1891. Hugh Walpole's copy Allahabad: A.H. Wheeler & Co. 1891. 4 pp preliminary plus 9 pp terminal ads undated with prices in rupees. Original grey-green pictorial wrappers<br/> <br/> First Published Edition technically the second Indian edition following the suppressed 1890 edition which had considerably different contents and of which only six copies are known. This 1891-dated Allahabad edition printed there came next followed by the 1891 edition with joint Allahabad / London imprint the first English edition printed in the UK. This was issued as No. XIV in the "Indian Railway Library" -- though Wheeler published this THE SMITH ADMINISTRATION and LETTERS OF MARQUE without authority after Kipling had left India for England. As is typical for this volume that is extremely fragile more delicate than the authorized titles condition is good-to-very good -- with about half of the wrapper's spine perished and with chips at some corners. Livingston says of this edition "although it is very scarce copies can be found." Richards A52 mistakenly showing this edition as undated; Stewart 93; Martindell 42; Livingston 70. Housed in a cloth clamshell case. Provenance: 1 there is an indecipherable signature with the date 1891 written across the front cover; 2 at the top of the title page is the signature of Hugh Walpole 1884-1941 the English novelist born in New Zealand; he also added his "Brackenburn" leather bookplate to the inside of the front wrapper. The interior of the clamshell case bears the label of W. & G. Foyle Ltd of Charing Cross Road. unknown

The Complete Works in Prose and Verse.
London: Macmillan and Company 1937-39. The most desirable collected edition The Sussex Edition number 72 of 525 sets only signed by the author in the first volume and containing two volumes of previously uncollected prose. Published after Kipling's death on 18 January 1936 this magnificent posthumous edition saw a small limitation and became even rarer following the destruction of many unsold sheets during the German bombing of London. In his last years and with his health failing Kipling remained determined to finish editing this "great retrospective work" which was first proposed in 1928. The edition was "fuller than that of any other. Kipling saw the proofs of at least 21 of the edition's 35 volumes before his death" and it is now "among the most prized and most expensive of all modern editions" Pinney p. 231. 35 vols large octavo. Printed on handmade paper with Ganesha watermark. Fly-titles printed in orange. Original full russet niger by James Burn & Co. spines lettered in gilt raised bands ruled in blind twin gilt fillet bordering covers turn-ins ruled in gilt and blind marbled endpapers top edges gilt and red on the rough other edges uncut. Bindings slightly darkened occasional light scuffs and internal marks otherwise clean. A near-fine set. Richards D23; Stewart pp. 577-80.

Leaves measuring 240 x 160 mm with the set occupying 141 cm 55 in of shelf space. A Very Good set. Bound for the publisher by James Burn & Co. in full reddish-brown Niger morocco. Double ruled in gilt. Spine in six compartments with raised bands. Top edge gilt. Sunning and speckling to some spines and some rubbing to raised bands and edges. Very clean throughout. Printed in Edinburgh by R&R Clark Ltd. on handmade paper.<br /> <br /> The Sussex Edition which has become the most desirable collected edition of Kipling's works was edited by Kipling himself and including two volumes of previously uncollected prose. The edition published the year after Kipling's death was intended as a complete retrospective on Kipling's career and the definitive edition of his works. The superbly produced set of course includes Kipling's most lauded fiction - The Jungle Book Kim and Just So Stories - as well as his poems and nonfiction capturing the scope of his literary output. <br /> <br /> A contemporary review in the Times Literary Supplement lauded the production: "The publishers are justified in the use of the epithet 'superb' to describe this edition. The fine hand-made paper and Bembo type are equally satisfactory but perhaps the binding is still more notable. It is.Niger leather lettered and simply ornamented in gold. The volumes.are comparatively slim and so easy to hold; and they have an air of durability and of being meant for reading as well as for keeping which is not always the case with éditions de luxe."
