1897réf. 154961897. With Illustrations by I.W. Taber. London: Macmillan and Co. 1897. 2 pp undated ads. Original blue cloth pictorially decorated in gilt all page edges gilt. First English Edition published about a month after the American. This is Kipling's great novel about the cod fishing fleet of Gloucester Massachusetts written while the newlywed Kiplings lived in Vermont. Kipling freely acknowledged that the book owed much to Dr. James Conland of Brattleboro who brought the Kiplings' elder daughter into the world -- for Conland had been a member of the Massachusetts fishing fleet and it was he who took Kipling to explore the wharves and quays of Boston and Gloucester. The American edition in fact is dedicated to Conland; this English edition bears no dedication. This is the only book of Kipling's which is set entirely in America. All the characters are American. Not only that but the heart of the book -- its moral in a single sentence -- is one of Kipling's main beliefs of this period expressed in terms essentially American or perhaps more particularly New England. He put it later in verse: ".If you don't work you will die!" It is a saga of hard physical work in conflict with natural forces. It is a book which could hardly have been written by anyone who did not admire Huckleberry Finn; it is a book whose claim to survival rests mainly on detail and it is all American detail Mason. CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS was the fourth and last volume to be bound in Macmillan's attractive gift binding style used for the JUNGLE BOOKs in 1894-1895 and for SOLDIER TALES in 1896. In 1937 forty years after publication this tale was made into a film starring Freddie Bartholomew Spencer Tracy who won an Oscar Lionel Barrymore and Mickey Rooney. This is a near-fine copy spine less than bright slight rubbing at the extremities light foxing; the original black-coated endpapers are not cracked. Richards A103; Stewart 163. unknown books

This is an unusually bright copy fine except for the slightest of rubbing at the spine tips and small bumps at the fore-tips. The original black-coated endpapers are not cracked.

1901réf. 153691901. London: Macmillan and Co. 1901. 2 pp undated ads. Original red cloth with Ganesha device in gilt. First English Edition of the book that "is acknowledged as Kipling's masterpiece in fiction. The novel is the finest written about the India of the British Empire" CGEL. It follows the adventures of an orphan son of a British soldier who is raised by an Indian woman becomes a disciple to a Lama and ultimately becomes an undercover agent as well. The illustrations are by John Lockwood Kipling the author's father. The American edition is considered to have been published earlier though in the same month as the English one. As with most of Kipling's British editions published by Macmillan the binding is red cloth with in gilt the "Ganesha" device -- an elephant's head with a swastika the latter had been a ubiquitous symbol in India for millennia; its use ceased in the early 1930s when events in Germany gave the symbol a whole new meaning. This is a very good copy front endpaper slightly cracked at the gutter light speckling of the cloth plus one small stain on the rear cover; as always there is some foxing of the endpapers and of the frontispiece tissue guard and there is minor rubbing of the gilt elephant. Richards A174; Stewart 254; Livingston 250. One of the books selected as a "Modern Library 100" for the 20th Century. unknown books

1894réf. 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.

1915réf. 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
1895réf. 147381895. Kipling J. Lockwood. With Illustrations by J. Lockwood Kipling C.I.E. London: Macmillan and Co. 1895. 2 pp undated ads. Original blue cloth pictorially decorated in gilt all page edges gilt. First English Edition published three days after the American of the sequel to THE JUNGLE BOOK which had been published the year before. It continues with more tales of Mowgli that exemplify "The Laws of the Jungle" -- with illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling Rudyard's father. This was the second of the four Kipling gift books bound similarly by Macmillan with SOLDIER TALES and CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS coming out the following two years respectively. This is an attractive near-fine copy volume slightly askew spine gilt less than bright but no foxing and essentially no wear; the front flyleaf bears an inked "Xmas 1895" signature.

1891réf. 137341891. Authorized Edition. New York: Lovell Coryell & Company n.d. 1892. Original maroon cloth beveled. First Combined Edition later issue with Lovell Coryell rather than United States Book Co. as the publisher. These two pieces first appeared in 1888 as the second and fourth numbers in the Indian Railway Series Allahabad; John Lovell issued each in wrappers in 1890 in his "Westminster Series" before combining the two in the present volume U.S. Book Co. in 1891 Lovell Coryell in 1892. This would be a fine copy were it not for the slight fading of the maroon spine -- almost unavoidable for this color. See Richards A42 note; Stewart 50. This is the George Barr McCutcheon copy with his bookplate housed in a morocco-backed slipcase with inner chemise. unknown books
