Dans les quelques livres qu'il emporte pieusement à l'Ecole Normale Supérieure figure cet exemplaire après l'avoir déjà lu dans ses années de lycée interne à Orléans. « Pour la première fois je me voyais matriculé : numéro 4. On penserait à la vie militaire si l'on n'avait pas connu aussi aux premières années de ce siècle la vie d'un élève interne dans un lycée de préfecture française. Tout ce qu'évoque le mot « caserne » c'est là que je l'ai connu à 10 ans au lycée Pothier rue Jeanne d'Arc : un juriste une rue noble et froide droite et raide comme la justice tirée d'un rigoureux cordeau entre la rue Royale et la cathédrale Sainte-Croix. J'y ai pour consolation le goût très vif de la camaraderie et le prodigieux trésor qu'est la lecture » qui lui ouvre un autre univers.

1901ref. 122738New York: Doubleday Page & Company 1901. First edition with the chapter-heading rhymes for only chapters VII and VIII as called of what many consider Kipling's masterpiece. Octavo original cloth embossed black and gilt to the front panel gilt titles to the spine illustrated. In near fine condition with light rubbing to the extremities. An exceptional example. Kim unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. The novel made the term "Great Game" popular and introduced the theme of great power rivalry and intrigue. It is set after the Second Afghan War which ended in 1881 but before the Third probably in the period 1893 to 1898. The novel is notable for its detailed portrait of the people culture and varied religions of India. "The book presents a vivid picture of India its teeming populations religions and superstitions and the life of the bazaars and the road." Considered by many to be Kipling's masterpiece opinion appears varied about its consideration as children's literature or not. Roger Sale in his history of children's literature concludes "Kim is the apotheosis of the Victorian cult of childhood but it shines now as bright as ever long after the Empire's collapse." Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2003 the book was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel.

1909ref. 157971909. One page on Kipling's "Bateman's Burwash Sussex" stationery. 14th Aug. 1909. This letter addressed to "Dear Sir" but with the recipient's name and address "9 King's Cross Road W.C." typed below reads: I have received your letter of the 12th together with the file of correspondence which I return herewith. I am only sorry that as I know nothing about the business side of inventions it is out of my power to assist you. Yours truly signed: Rudyard Kipling. We do not know who John Proctor was; nor did Kipling -- but Proctor had apparently sent a whole file regarding some invention he was working on. Perhaps he contacted Kipling because he knew the famous author had written an 1893 book titled MANY INVENTIONS The letter is in very good condition a couple of small holes and tape-marks not affecting print. Basic content but a fine example of Kipling's signature. unknown
