1913réf. 016764London: Macmillan 1913. 5th or later Edition . Hardcover. Good. Reprint. Hardback original red cloth binding gilt titling to spine and gilt elephant roundel to upper board. Top edge gilt. 20.5 × 13cm 407pp 1. This copy has a quite remarkable maritime history. It was owned by architect Arthur J. Davis with his bookplate to the front pastedown and the rear endpapers contain two architectural pencil plans/sketches believed to relate to the smoking rooms of RMS Aquitania. The left-hand drawing is more detailed and appears to show the funnel casing at the base of the plan with a swirl in the middle suggesting the outline of a skylight; the tapering of the deck plan is consistent with the aft position of the smoking room. The right-hand drawing is a similar plan possibly representing a secondary smoking room. The presence of Davis's bookplate together with the subject matter of the sketches and his documented role in designing the public interiors of Aquitania during this period strongly suggests these drawings were executed by Davis in association with his own copy of the book. Arthur Joseph Davis 1878-1951 was an English architect trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and co-founder of the firm Mewès & Davis responsible for the interior design of the London Ritz Hotel notable country houses and the public rooms of RMS Aquitania in 1911-1914 - a period that coincides with the date of this book 1913. While no external authentication is offered the attribution is made in good faith on the basis of ownership evidence and contextual consistency. Kipling's selection of short stories first published in 1891 set in colonial India. Most had previously been published in periodicals. Condition: The pencil sketches are in good condition there is a little offsetting from each when the books has been closed and they've faced each other and some light age-toning to the endpapers. The red cloth is good but a little darkened and there is light scattered foxing to the pages throughout. However the bookplate and sketches make this a unique item of Aquitania history.

A quality collection of short stories including the remarkable 'Mrs. Bathurst' with its theme of destructive power and obsessive love plus the strange tale 'Wireless' which concerns spirit possession as well as the classic ghost story 'They'; an unsettling tale about a lost motorist and his encounter with a blind woman at the isolated 'House Beautiful' being a companion rather than a sequel to the earlier 'Brushwood Boy' fantasy which sees the reappearance of the characters 'Them'. Adept at short fiction Kipling penned many 'uncanny tales' some being subtle fantasies They The Brushwood Boy The Eye of Allah whilst others were more overtly supernatural or scientific romances in the manner of Edgar Allan Poe The Phantom 'Rickshaw The Mark of the Beast The Night Mail. Kipling wrote of new inventions and future wars warned of the social consequences of technological change and exerted an the most lasting influence on modern science fiction and fantasy writing according to leading SF writer Poul Anderson; indeed his stories of India with notions of an earthly alien in a strange world are the most salient predecessors of golden age sci-fi. Kipling later stressed he was 'not diving after physical experiences' although he was exposed to and described uncanny events and was much aware of the irrational premises and feelings of others; his formative professional years were spent in India a country with a widespread belief in ghosts and spirit reincarnation and at a time when matters 'psychic' were fashionable throughout Europe.
