réf. 00136London: Macmillan and Co. 1903. The Songs from Rudyard Kipling's "Just So Stories" KIPLING Rudyard. The Just So Song Book. Being the Songs from Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories. Set to Music by Edward German. London: Macmillan and Co. 1903. First edition. Large quarto 12 1/4 x 9 3/4 inches; 311 x246 mm. 2 62 pp. Music. Original dark red cloth pictorially stamped in black on front cover and lettered in gilt on front cover and spine. Small area of slight discoloration on back cover. Front hinge hints at starting. Title tissue guard slightly browned and with a short tear at lower margin. Otherwise a fine copy. A charming and scarce musical companion to Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories issued at the height of his popularity and designed for domestic performance. Edward German's settings - by turns playful lyrical and theatrically assured -translate Kipling's rhythmic verse into songs intended for both children and adults reflecting the Edwardian taste for cultivated family entertainment. Books combining Kipling's texts with original musical settings were produced in relatively small numbers and were often heavily used making clean copies increasingly difficult to find. This first edition of The Just So Song Book survives as an appealing example of early twentieth-century literary music publishing and an important adjunct to Kipling's most beloved work. "The texts of the twelve poems contained in the Just So Stories 1902 are here set to music by Edward German. The last song 'Rolling down to Rio' is substituted for 'I've never sailed the Amazon' which is here omitted" Stewart. Livingston 270 describing the first American edition. Stewart 269-A.

No covers 6 exposed cords. xviii 1-6 7-393 pp. with facsimile frontis of Kipling's manuscript for "The Thousandth Man" printed as frontispiece to vol. I with tissue guard. Title page printed in red and black. I have two of these copies of Volume 1 each numbered and signed 41 and 42. They were never bound and both retain their untrimmed cords and temporary endpapers beyond those intended to be bound. They have spent the last 90 years together in the stockroom of a venerable but now closed New York City bookstore. They both retain their limitation page signed by Kipling and numbered. Please be aware you are buying an bound book as delivered by the publisher to the binders. Several possible uses for these volumes are evident an explanation for why they were never bound and where the other two volumes for each of these is are more distant and hypothetical bordering on fantasy. Beyonbd being lovely Kipling items and complete in their own right these volumes sold by the piece are a scarce representation of how books leave the printer's for the binder's.
