1885rif. 155839Lahore: The "Civil and Military Gazette" Press 1885. An early Kipling rarity and first appearance of a classic ghost story First edition first impression of the book written by members of the Kipling family. Published in an edition of 250 copies it is rare in original wrappers and with advertisements at the end. The book includes the first appearance of "The Phantom 'Rickshaw'" and "The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes C. E.". Kipling described the conception of this work in his autobiography Something of Myself 1937. He noted that "in the cold weather of 1885 we four made up a Christmas annual. which pleased us a good deal and attracted a certain amount of attention. Later much later it became a 'collector's piece' in the US book-market and to that extent smudged the memories of its birth". The 16 pieces comprising eight in prose and eight in verse were written by "four Anglo-Indian writers" as described on the title page and remaining anonymous throughout the book who were Kipling his father mother and sister. Kipling had initiated the publication with the Civil and Military Gazette and it was sold by subscription. This slim volume gave the 19 year old writer an opportunity to publish his work and he contributed half of the texts. The ghost stories would become better-known and were reprinted within The Phantom 'Rickshaw and other tales in 1890. Kipling's father had been somewhat against publication of Quartette and wrote to Margaret Burne-Jones that he had hoped that someone would "rap Rudyard's knuckles for the unwholesomeness of 'The Phantom 'Rickshaw' and the coarseness of the 'Tragedy of Teeth'". The binding of the publication was particularly chaotic. According to Kipling the work took place at night by candlelight and he provided workers on overtime with tots of brandy and plugs of free tobacco to encourage the "forty odd men besides binders to keep Quartette going". Publication was announced on 19 December and the front cover was possibly designed by John Lockwood Kipling then serving as the first principal of the Mayo School of Art in Lahore. Richards notes that the advertisements "sometimes vary in number". He states "copies are known with only three leaves or four leaves or six or even eight with a blank final yellow leaf instead of the more standard seven. Copies were also bound without advertisements at Kipling's direction for family members. In some copies the last of the seven leaves of advertisements is pink rather than pale yellow". Additionally "the rear endsheet has been excised from some copies. with the stub pasted to the terminal leaf of advertisements". The present copy carries seven leaves of which the final leaf is pink. Octavo. Original wrappers printed in black. Housed in a red cloth chemise with a red morocco-backed slipcase. Ownership signature on front wrapper. Loss to most of spine minor chip at top right corner of front wrapper some slight rust-staining; a very good copy and a particularly attractive example.

The publisher's archives note that 50 copies of each pamphlet were printed. Complete sets in this condition are rare. In his after-dinner speech at the Kipling Society annual lunch in May 1999 David Alan Richards noted that Kipling's "London literary agent A. P. Watt and his New York publisher Frank N. Doubleday made extensive use of limited printings. to establish copyright in each country". Richards in his bibliography notes that it was reported that "most of the few copies printed" of this title "were mailed to newspapers and destroyed being separated into leaves for the convenience of linotype operators".

Rare in this near-fine condition First American edition first printing of the first trade book edition of Kipling's novel.

1903rif. 154195London: Macmillan & Co. Limited 1903. Magnificent illustrations for Kipling's classic and considered by some to be the finest book illustrations ever published First edition sole impression. Macmillan issued this sumptuous portfolio at five guineas advertising the illustrations as reproductions "in colour from the Original Drawings in the highest style of Lithography". The 16 watercolours had been exhibited at the Dutch Gallery in London and were subsequently incorporated in reduced format into Macmillan's 1908 edition of The Jungle Book. The illustrations rank among the Detmold brothers' most celebrated work. A modern study of British book illustration describes the series as a "masterpiece of Edwardian era" singling out Shere Khan in the Jungle for its synthesis of Japanese pictorial influence anatomical observation and elaborate detail. Quoting Rodney Engen's study of the golden age of illustration it notes how the brothers' understanding of nature enabled them to create the "mythology and harshness of the natural world". Folio. 16 coloured chromolithograph prints on thin card sheet sizes: 330 × 430 mm tipped onto white board with grey window mounts mount sizes: 393 × 545 mm with cover sheet to each illustration providing the title and a short extract from the book.

rif. 61388London: Macmillan and Co. 1906. Fantasy Tales LEATHER-BOUND FIRST EDITION first impression. Octavo 21 x 14cm pp.4 x; 306 12. With 20 black and white illustrations by H.R. Millar including a frontispiece. Advertisements dated 15.8.06. Elegantly hand-bound in red half morocco with raised bands gilt titles to spine and the original cloth with gilt elephant medallion to upper board. Top edge gilt. Light toning to edges. A nice clean copy in an attractive recent leather binding. Very good. Kipling's popular series of tales set in different historical eras including Roman Britain Anglo-Saxon England The Norman Conquest The Middle Ages and the Tudor Period. The stories are all told to two children living near Pevensey East Sussex by characters magically plucked out of history by 'Puck'. Traditionally the term 'Puck' referred to a malicious spirit or demon of popular superstition and from the 16th century the name of a mischievous goblin or Hobgoblin similar to that appearing in Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' the fairy scene from which is acted out here. Although 'Puck' is seen as a children's book in the same way 'Treasure Island' or 'King Solomon's Mines' are viewed the story-tellers are adults and the romances they describe would only be suitable for older readers.
