This set contained in a custom blue cloth slipcase. Few books have shaped the imagination of childhood quite like Kipling's Jungle Books. First published in 1894 and 1895 these two volumes introduced the world to Mowgli Baloo Bagheera Kaa and Shere Khan. The timeless stories blended fable folklore and imperial adventure into one of the most enduring classics of English literature. The Jungle Book 1894 includes the first appearance of "Mowgli's Brothers" "Kaa's Hunting" and "Tiger! Tiger!" alongside such favorites as "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi." The Second Jungle Book 1895 continued the talesdeepening the Mowgli cycle and adding enduring pieces like "The King's Ankus" and "Red Dog." Together the two books form the complete Mowgli canon. First edition sets in original cloth are increasingly scarce especially when both volumes present well. These are the foundational works of Kipling's career - the stories that earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature 1907 and secured his place in the canon of English storytelling. Based on folktales and legends that Kipling learned during his childhood in India the Jungle Books were met with huge success upon publication and continue to enthrall readers of all ages to this day. According to Professor Edwin L. Miller their publication "caused even severe critics of Kipling's previous work to admit that he is a writer of inspired genius." Largely focused on man's relationship to nature the Jungle Books in part narrate the tales of Mowgli a human "man-cub" raised by wolves as he tries to find his proper place in the world. As he struggles with his own identity he finds allies and adversaries among the animal communities through which he travels. They also include the story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the heroic mongoose who would later inspire an animated short voiced by Orson Welles. For contributions like these Kipling became the first English-language writer and the youngest ever to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Very Good Near Fine. Macmillan and Co unknown

Symonds". "Gosse was happily married for over 50 years and had three children but did acknowledge to John Addington Symonds around the time Symonds was working on A Problem in Modern Ethics that he was attracted to men thus confirming the suspicions Symonds had voiced earlier. 'Either way I entirely deeply sympathize with you. Years ago I wanted to write to you about all this' Gosse wrote to Symonds 'and withdrew through cowardice. I have had a very fortunate life but there has been this obstinate twist in it! I have reached a quieter time--some beginnings of that Sophoclean period when the wild beast dies. He is not dead but tamer; I understand him & the trick of his claws.' Gosse had love affairs possibly not consummated with a school friend John Blaikie and the handsome young sculptor Wiiliam Hamo Thornycroft.After Symonds' death Gosse burnt all of Symonds' letters and diaries and papers that had been bequeathed to him."

The Jungle Book.

1894rif. 188654London: Macmillan and Co. 1894. Original Jean Jullien dust jacket First edition in book form the "First Editions: Re-covered" copy. This copy includes a unique dust jacket by Jean Jullien. The acrylic gouache painting on two sides of acetate shows Mowgli Baloo and Bagheera peering through an opening in the forest. The acetate allows their view to be the original pictorial design of elephants on the front cover of the binding. A charity auction to benefit the House of Illustration was held on 11 December 2017. Book illustrators fashion artists painters and artists were asked to choose a book which appealed to them. A first edition was then obtained and the artist provided a unique dust jacket. With reference to his choice of book Jullien stated that "I grew up watching and loving the Disney version and am always interested in revisiting popular culture landmarks. I find that their endurance to time and iteration is a tribute to their efficiency and quality". The charity's concept for artists to engage with a first edition is particularly effective here as the original binding plays a new illustrative role with Jullien's dust jacket. Jean Jullien b. 1983 is an acclaimed French graphic designer and illustrator whose work has been published by Phaidon Press. His "Peace for Paris" symbol went viral through news coverage and social media in the wake of 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris. This copy includes a bookplate for Edward Lowrey together with an ownership signature on the preliminary blank "Lowrey Broomhaugh". Lowrey b. 1830 is listed in the 1881 census as a steam ship owner and manager living at Broomhaugh House in Northumberland. Octavo. Frontispiece with illustrations within the text by William Henry Drake Paul Frenzeny and the author's father John Lockwood Kipling. Original blue cloth spine lettered and illustrated in gilt front cover with pictorial design in gilt green coated endpapers edges gilt. With original dust jacket by Jean Jullien signed on front flap. Armorial bookplate to front pastedown. Binding worn lower joint split loss to head of skewed spine joints split some browning and foxing; some minor scratches and minor loss to gouache on jacket: a good copy in near-fine jacket. Grolier Children's 100 52; Martindell 54; Richards A76. hardcover
