Kipling undertook the history of the regiment in WWI following the death in action of his son John at the Battle of Loos whilst serving with the Second Battalion; a personal tragedy from which the author never fully recovered.

KIPLING, Rudyard; Foreword by WEBB, George:
THE IRISH GUARDS IN THE GREAT WAR: The First Battalion and The Second Battalion.
Kent: Spellmount. 1997. Two volumes. The first volume is the third printing the second volume is a first printing of this illustrated reissue of Kipling's 1923 work. Original red Vol. I and green Vol. II cloth lettered in gilt to the spine in the illustrated dustwrappers. Illustrated map endpapers showing the itineraries of the first and second battalions of the Irish Guards. A very near fine set the bindings square and firm the cloth and gilt sharp the contents clean throughout. In the unclipped dustwrappers fine except for a touch of fading to the spine of Vol. II both volumes priced £24.95 to their front flaps. An attractive set. Kipling's ambitious regimental history of the Irish Guards originally published in 1923 is an unusually personal work. In 1914 the author's son John then aged seventeen volunteered for military service and was rejected he was under age and suffered from poor eyesight. The following year through Kipling's friendship with Lord Roberts Colonel-in-Chief of the Irish Guards John gained a commission with the regiment travelling to France where he was killed in the Battle of Loos he was eighteen. Kipling was haunted by the loss for the rest of his life. When approached about writing a history of the Irish Guards "not on business terms but as a monument of his son's service" he spent over five years researching and writing the work. A substantial and vivid piece of historical scholarship it is a neglected Kipling masterpiece. This generously illlustrated edition includes a foreword by George Webb editor of The Kipling Journal and a biographical sketch of John Kipling reproduced from the Irish Guards Journal. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers. Kent: Spellmount. 1997 hardcover

The Jungle Book IN RARE 1890s DUST JACKET
<p>12mo. AEG. 276 pp. 4 pp. ads. Publisher's presentation blue cloth binding with illustrated dust jacket. The evidence indicates that this jacket and binding are original unused stock from the 1890s. During the 1900-20 period Macmillan offered four Kipling titles - <em>The Jungle Book The Second Jungle Book Captains Courageous</em> and <em>Soldier Tales</em> - in "special bindings for presentation" in addition to the standard red cloth trade editions. The bindings and jackets used for this special offering match the original bindings and jackets issued on those same four titles in the 1890s and at the same 6-shillings price on the jacket spines. If Macmillan had been issuing new bindings and jackets to replicate the 1890s style it probably would not have included Soldier Tales a very slow seller in such an offering. Nor were any popular post-1900 titles such as Kim or Puck of Pook's Hill included in this special offering - just the four titles that originally had the ornate blue bindings and illustrated jackets in the 1890s - thus the conclusion that Macmillan was using up leftover bindings and jackets. This copy slightly musty and cocked usual endpaper offsetting binding clean and unworn very good jacket with minor perimeter chips and tears but almost no loss a few bits of old tape on underside but clean complete and attractive. Kipling's classic children's story with a rare 1890s jacket of which only a handful survived on 1890s copies and with few if any surviving examples recorded on presentation copies - not seen by Richards for his 2010 Kipling bibliography.

The Jungle Books Volumes I and II
New York: Doubleday & Company 1948. Hardcover with Dust Jacket with Slipcase. Near Fine/Very Good. Illustrations by Watson Aldren. <br /> <br /> Bindings are tight and square. Text clean light even toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. Dust Jackets with price are in a new clear protective Mylar sleeve with a touch of corner and spine tip wear evenly toned. Previous owner's name on front free end page. Slipcase had moderate shelf handling. Watson Aldren Color Illustrations. The Jungle Book first published in 1894 is a collection of stories by the English author Rudyard Kipling. <br /> <br /> Most of the characters are animals such as Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear though a principal character is the boy or "man-cub" Mowgli who is raised in the jungle by wolves.<br /> <br /> The stories are set in a forest in India. A major theme is abandonment followed by fostering as in the life of Mowgli echoing Kipling's own childhood. Another important theme is of law and freedom; the stories are not about animal behavior but about human archetypes in animal form.<br /> <br /> They teach respect for authority obedience and knowing one's place in society with 'the law of the jungle' but the stories also illustrate the freedom to move between different worlds such as when Mowgli moves between the jungle and the village.<br /> <br /> Critics have also noted the essential wildness and lawless energies in the stories reflecting the irresponsible side of human nature. wiki Doubleday & Company hardcover

Kipling, Rudyard Illustrated by J Lockwood Kipling and WH Drake W H
The Jungle Books.
London: Macmillan c. 1960. Finely bound edition of both volumes of Kipling's Jungle Books. Octavo bound in full leather with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Illustrated by J. Lockwood Kipling C.I.E. and W.H. Drake. In near fine condition. An exceptional presentation. Kipling's Jungle Books center on the story of Mowgli an orphaned 'man-cub' who is raised in the jungle of India by wolves where he comes to learn the Laws of the Jungle. A major theme throughout the books is abandonment followed by fostering as in the life of Mowgli echoing Kipling's own childhood. Another is law vs. freedom; the stories are not about animal behavior but about human archetypes in animal form. The books remain popular to this day and have been adapted several times for film and other media including the classic Walt Disney 1967 animation and its 2016 remake. Macmillan hardcover
