Printed in Edinburgh by R&R Clark Ltd. on handmade paper. 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. 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."
