1937Best.-Nr. BIBLIO-56882Macmillan and Co. Ltd London Sussex Edition 1937. From the limited edition of 525 sets of which 500 were for sale. Full russet Niger morocco handmade paper gilt top other edges untrimmed as issued marbled endpapers royal 8vo. xviii 449 1 pp. The Sussex Edition is the finest edition of Kipling's works sumptuously produced and also containing his final thoughts on the text having been revised by Kipling in his last years. Kipling died in 1936 and the edition was published posthumously. Complete sets of the 35 volumes are rare and desirable : only 525 sets were produced and many of these were destroyed when the publisher's warehouse was bombed in 1941. Single volumes such as that offered here are in practice still harder to find : we have a handful only of such single volumes and this represents a possibly unrepeatable chance for one admirer of this early collection of his short stories which first appeared in 1891 to acquire it in the most desirable edition. The contents of this volume are: The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney; The Courting of Dinah Shadd; On Greenhow Hill; The Man Who Was; The Head of the District; Without Benefit of Clergy; At the End of the Passage; The Mutiny of the Mavericks; The Mark of the Beast; The Return of Imray; Namgay Doola; The Lang Men O' Larut; Bertran and Bimi; Reingelder and the German Flag; The Wandering Jew; Through the Fire; The Finances of the Gods; The Amir's Homily; Jews in Shushan; The Limitations of Pambé Serang; Little Tobrah; Moti Guj Mutineer; Bubbling Well Road; 'The City of Dreadful Night; Georgie Porgie; Naboth; The Dream of Duncan Parrenness; L'envoi.

1900Best.-Nr. 9720London c. 1900. Second Anglo-Boer War souvenir handkerchief 45 x 45 cm printed in blue ink on fine linen a couple of trivial spots blank verso. Set in the borders of a map showing the contested regions of South Africa chiefly Orange Free State and Transvaal is the text of Rudyard Kipling's poem 'The Absent-Minded Beggar' with the music of Arthur Sullivan. The map is further adorned with portraits of Queen Victoria and Field Marshal Lord Roberts who was commander of British forces in the field between December 1899 and December 1900. It was published by the Daily Mail then a relatively new but highly successful British newspaper: established in 1896 its circulation had soared to over a million - the largest in the world - by the war's end in 1902. Kipling presented his poem to the Mail which established a charitable fund soon known as the Absent Minded Beggar Fund to provide comforts for British troops on campaign and support for their families at home. Sullivan was prevailed upon to set it to music and it was first sung in public in November 1899. It caught the public mood and was reproduced in many forms. The handkerchiefs were in circulation by March 1900. Local newspapers carry advertisements from wholesalers and retailers around the country all promising to donate a portion of the profits to the fund. Advertising in the Bradford Daily Telegraph 8 March 1900 one vendor described them as the latest novelty a work of art further suggesting that they could make a useful present everybody pleased with them. An Exeter draper excitedly advertised another delivery in the March 28 issue of the Western Echo. They seem to have sold for between twopence and threepence each. Map unknown
