1894Best.-Nr. 149421894. Decorated by J. Lockwood Kipling C.I.E. New York: The Century Co. 1894. Original olive-green cloth decorated in gilt. First American Edition published on the same day May 22nd as the English edition. Many of the illustrations are by John Lockwood Kipling Rudyard's father. This book and THE SECOND JUNGLE BOOK along with KIM and JUST SO STORIES constitute Kipling's best-loved work: For there is a unique magic in the JUNGLE BOOKs from the moment the infant Mowgli enters the wolf's lair and the moonlight is blacked out at the mouth of the cave by the great head of the tiger Shere Khan and his roar fills it with thunder. There is magic too in the jungle so glowingly portrayed with its danger-haunted thickets and the monkeys threading its frail liana ways the enchanted land of which Mowgli is to become the master; and in the animals who are his friends and mentors -- Bagheera the sleek and terrible panther; Baloo the wise old bear; Hathi the elephant; Kaa the gigantic python who makes a nest for Mowgli in his coils; Akela the leader of the wolf-pack; and the bandarlog chattering outcasts of the tree tops whose only wish is to be noticed and who immediately abandon every task they have begun. Birkenhead This volume is in near-fine condition spine cloth a little darkened a trace of rubbing at the extremities; as with most copies we have encountered in the binding process a leaf was glued down under the rear endpaper.

1915Best.-Nr. 149451915. I & II. The Auxiliary Fleet. / III & IV. Submarines. / V & VI. Patrols. Together six volumes. Garden City NY: Doubleday Page & Company 1915. Original light yellow wrappers lettered in green. First Editions being the American copyright issues limited according to DP&Co's annotated copy to 75 copies each. These six articles written at the instance of the Ministry of Information were issued separately from November 19th through December 1st 1915. The English and American book editions were then published sometime in December; a year later they were collected in Kipling's book SEA WARFARE December 1916. Each of the six volumes leads off with an original poem written by Kipling for the occasion. The Vol VI poem reads "Twelve verses omitted." between the third verse and the last verse: this "was only a little joke of Kipling's to indicate that it would of course take a very lengthy poem to give any idea of the dangers and tribulations incurred by the North Sea patrol" Richards. The first volume has just a hint of cover soil but otherwise all six are fine and un-worn other than the usual minor rusting of the staples. Richards A282; Stewart 394. unknown books

"The next important task I undertook was the illustration of an edition of Rudyard Kipling's A Song of the English to be published by Hodder & Stoughton in the year 1908. It became necessary for me to meet the author and discuss the proposed book with him. For this purpose I travelled down to Burwash where he lived at that time. This was an excursion I shall always remember. I was met at Heathfield and journeyed thence in a motor-car. There were few cars on the road in those days and this in itself was a joyful experience as we drove through the pleasant Sussex lanes. Bateman's the house at Burwash where Rudyard Kipling lived was a fine old building with stone mullioned windows. It was in the midst of wind-blown Sussex country. There was a faint smell of the sea in the air wafted across the few miles of country from the shore where the Coastwise lights of England watch the ships of England go. It was a fitting setting in which to find the author of A Song of the English. He met and entertained me with a quiet affability which speedily removed the shyness I felt at first in his presence. Before long I was quite at home with him. His own knowledge of illustration gave him an appreciation of the artist's point of view. While making suggestions he realized that the illustrator must have as free a hand as possible. His sympathetic understanding of my part in the undertaking made me feel that I was consulting with a brother artist. I spent a happy and for me a helpful day. It was a great inspiration for the work I had in hand to be in such close association with the author's interesting personality. I am always glad to remember that he was satisfied with my illustrations to his book." W.
