1909rif. 2326632New York: Doubleday Page & Company 1909. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 0x0x0. Boards a bit soiled ink gift note on front endpaper. 1909 Hard Cover. viii 323 pp. The measure of a man's popularity is not always --or indeed seldom-- the measure of his intrinsic worth. So when the earlier work of any writer is gathered together in more enduring form catering to the enthusiasm of his readers in his maturer years there is always a suspicion that his venture is purely a commercial one without literary justification. Fortunately these thirty-one stories of Mr. Kipling's form their own best excuse for this their first appearance together in book form. Not merely because in them may be traced the origin of that style and subject matter that later made their author famous; but because the stories are in themselves worth while --worth writing and worth reading.

1899rif. 2326707New York: Doubleday & McClure Co 1899. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 7x5x1. First American edition. Front hinge nearly split but still holding ink gift note on front free endpaper rear hinge starting. 1899 Hard Cover. 310 pp. The Anglo-Indian author Rudyard Kipling 1865 - 1936 who was strongly influenced by Indian culture used a swastika as his personal emblem on the covers and flyleaves of many editions of his books along with the elephant signifying his affinity with India. With the rise of Nazism Kipling ceased to use the swastika. "Kipling was so disgusted by the Nazis and the sight of their flag that he removed the swastika a Hindu symbol of good luck from his bookbindings. It had been his trademark for nearly forty years but it was now 'defiled beyond redemption'." This latter quote is footnoted "K to Bok 1 Nov. 1935 and to White 28 Dec 1935. Stalky & Co. is a novel by Rudyard Kipling about adolescent boys at a British boarding school. It is a collection of school stories whose juvenile protagonists display a know-it-all cynical outlook on patriotism and authority. It was first published in 1899 after the stories had appeared in magazines during the previous two years. It is set at a school dubbed "the College" or "the Coll." which is based on the actual United Services College that Kipling attended as a boy.1 The character Beetle one of the main trio is partly based on Kipling himself while the charismatic character Stalky is based on Lionel Dunsterville M'Turk is based on George Charles Beresford Mr King is based on William Carr Crofts2 and the headmaster Mr. Bates is based on Cormell Price headmaster of the United Services College. The stories have elements of revenge the macabre bullying and violence and hints about sex making them far from childish or idealised. For example Beetle pokes fun at an earlier more earnest boys' book Eric or Little by Little thus flaunting his more worldly outlook. The final chapter recounts events in the lives of the boys when as adults they are in the armed forces in India. It is implied that the mischievous pranks of the boys in school were splendid training for their role as instruments of the British Empire.--Wikipedia Doubleday & McClure Co hardcover books

Joseph Rudyard Kipling 30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936 was an English novelist short-story writer poet and journalist. He was born in British India which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include the Jungle Book duology The Jungle Book 1894; The Second Jungle Book 1895 Kim 1901 the Just So Stories 1902 and many short stories including "The Man Who Would Be King" 1888. His poems include "Mandalay" 1890 "Gunga Din" 1890 "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" 1919 "The White Man's Burden" 1899 and "If—" 1910. He is seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. His children's books are classics; one critic noted "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". Kipling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was among the United Kingdom's most popular writers. Henry James said "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius as distinct from fine intelligence that I have ever known." In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature as the first English-language writer to receive the prize and at 41 its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and several times for a knighthood but declined both. Following his death in 1936 his ashes were interred at Poets' Corner part of the South Transept of Westminster Abbey. Kipling's subsequent reputation has changed with the political and social climate of the age. The contrasting views of him continued for much of the 20th century. Literary critic Douglas Kerr wrote: "Kipling is still an author who can inspire passionate disagreement and his place in literary and cultural history is far from settled. But as the age of the European empires recedes he is recognised as an incomparable if controversial interpreter of how empire was experienced. That and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts make him a force to be reckoned with." The collection of Barrack-Room Ballads was issued in March 1892 first published individually for the most part in 1890 and contained his poems "Mandalay" and "Gunga Din". A.L.
