Rudyard Kipling
Puck of Pook's Hill
<p>London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd. 1906. First edition. Hardcover. Harold R. Millar. This is a magnificent copy of the British first edition second printing in the exceptionally scarce dust jacket. The second printing was issued the same month as the first printing and is nearly identical. The dust jacket differs from that of the first printing only in adding Puck of Pook's Hill to the list of Kipling titles on the rear panel. The volume differs only in the copyright page notation of the second printing. <br /><br />Puck of Pooks Hill is Kiplings abidingly English collection of ten stories and sixteen poems informed by English history and animated by English mythology for a youthful audience this British first edition published with twenty illustrations by Harold R. Millar. This is the first publication of the sixteen poems. Preceding the British and American first editions the stories had appeared in Strand Magazine as well as in Ladies Home Journal and McClures Magazine in America. Several minor changes were made in the story texts as printed in book form and there are numerous but unimportant textual differences between the English and American Editions. Richards A205 <br /><br />This copy is rare thus fine in a very good dust jacket. The red cloth binding is improbably bright and clean tight with sharp corners vivid gilt and no appreciable wear. The contents are pristine crisp and bright with no previous ownership marks no spotting clean fore and bottom edges and bright gilt top edge. The endpapers show differential toning corresponding to the dust jacket flaps. A single leaf verso and recto bound in at the rear advertises other works by Kipling. The sole previous ownership mark is a tiny Times Book Club sticker affixed to the lower rear pastedown. <br /><br />The dust jacket shows only trivial loss at the spine head and corners with moderate overall soiling and short closed tears to the upper hinges and upper edge of the rear panel. The spine shows mild toning but the red print remains distinct. The dust jacket is protected beneath a removable archival quality clear cover. <br /><br />When first published Kipling referred to the first four stories as part of scheme of mine for trying to give children not a notion of history but a notion of time sense which is at the bottom of all history that rightly understood means love of ones fellow man and the land one lives in. Letters 3 p.189 Siblings Dan and Una of rural Sussex are reciting A Midsummer Nights Dream to one another on Midsummer Eve near the titular Pooks Hill when they summon Puck a small brown broad-shouldered pointy-eared person with a snub nose slanting blue eyes and a wicked twinkle in his eye. Puck introduces himself as the oldest Old Thing in England and introduces a procession of figures from English history among them a Roman centurion a Saxon monk a Norman knight a Viking sea captain and so on. Rewards and Fairies published in 1910 added additional stories and poems. <br /><br />Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936 was an English poet short-story writer and novelist chiefly remembered for his celebration of British imperialism stories and poems of British India and his tales for children. Despite this reputation Kiplings extraordinary body of work eludes all labels in its range and variety Kipling's work is not only of the highest artistic excellence it is deeply humane and fully expresses the sense of one of his favourite texts: Praised be Allah for the diversity of his creatures. ODNB Kipling was in his twenties when his stories of Anglo-Indian life made him a literary celebrity and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907 the year after this book was published. This book has two instances - on the gilt front cover device and on the half title verso of the swastika symbol prevalent in Kiplings published works an ancient symbol of good fortune used at least 5000 years before being perverted by Hitlers Reich. <br /><br />Reference: Richards A205 <br /><br /></p> Macmillan & Co., Ltd. hardcover

Rewards and Fairies finely bound
St. Martin's Street London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1910. First edition. 3/4 Leather. This is the first edition first printing in a contemporary fine binding. This volume a continuation of the Puck stories first told in 1906's Puck of Pook's Hill contains eleven stories and twenty-three poems. It is notable for containing the first volume appearance of the poem "If --". <br /> <br />This copy is bound in contemporary three-quarter red polished calf by Bickers & Son of Leicester. The spine features raised and gilt-decorated spine bands gilt-hatched ends and gilt rule framed compartments the title and author printed in the 2nd and 3rd compartments the publication date at the spine heel the 1st and 4th-6th compartments featuring a central gilt flower device. The cloth sides are red buckram framed by gilt rule transitions. The contents are bound with red and gold silk head and tail bands gilt top edges red satin ribbon marker and pale reddish-pink endpapers. <br /> <br />Condition of the binding is very good minus the binding square sound and attractive despite light uniform spine toning and some wear to the joints which remain secure and very light shelf wear to extremities. The first printing contents are well-suited to the binding bright clean and retaining a crisp feel with no appreciable spotting. Modest age-toning is manifest only to the fore and bottom edges of the text block. The top edge gilt is bright. The sole previous ownership mark is the armorial bookplate of Sir Ernest Edward Bird 1877-1945 affixed to the front pastedown. <br /> <br />According to Kipling bibliographer David Alan Richards the title of the book comes from "the first line of a poem entitled 'The Fairies' Farewell' by Richard Corbet 1582-1635 Bishop of Norwich which begins "Farewell Rewards and Faeries ." Richards A242 pp.201-202. Publication of this British first edition preceded its American counterpart by a week. Published herein for the first time Kiplings poem "If --" proved to be so popular that a separate edition of the poem was swiftly published in the US the following month and a few years later in England. <br /> <br />As do many of Kiplings books this book features a swastika in this case on the half title verso. The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika which means good fortune and this ancient hooked cross symbol was used at least 5000 years before being polluted by association with Hitlers Reich. It remains a sacred symbol in Hinduism Buddhism Jainism and Odinism. The swastika is a symbol common to many editions of Kiplings works and came to Kiplings attention through his father's encyclopaedic knowledge of Indian art. <br /> <br />Iconic English poet short-story writer and novelist Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936 is chiefly remembered for his celebration of British imperialism tales and poems of British soldiers in India and his tales for children. Despite this reputation Kiplings extraordinary body of work eludes all labels in its range and variety
Kipling's work is not only of the highest artistic excellence it is deeply humane and fully expresses the sense of one of his favourite texts: Praised be Allah for the diversity of his creatures. ODNB Kipling was in his twenties when his stories of Anglo-Indian life made him a literary celebrity and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907. Born in India and educated in England Kipling could not afford to attend either Oxford or Cambridge University and instead returned to India to work as a newspaper editor and writer which proved formative. He returned to England in 1889 later living in the United States and South Africa before finally settling in England. Owing mostly to ill health Kipling's production of original work diminished in the years between the end of the First World War and his death. Kipling remains the youngest person to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature and was also the first English language author awarded. <br /> <br />Reference: Richards A242 <br/><br/> Macmillan and Co., Limited hardcover
