1930ref. 158381930. Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company 1930. Original light yellow wrappers lettered in green. First Edition of this short story being the American copyright issue -- 75 copies printed and privately distributed in August 1930 in order to secure copyright protection in America. The main story is the voyage generally reckoned to have taken place in or shortly after 60 AD during which St. Paul was shipwrecked on the island of Malta then called Melita -- the account of which given in Acts 27-28 has been said to be the most vivid account of a voyage and shipwreck in the whole of Greek and Latin literature. In Kipling's story that voyage is described in the conversation of three reminiscing seamen whose meeting provides a typically Kiplingesque "frame" for the main story kipling.org. This tale then appeared in the September issue of London Magazine and was subsequently collected in 1932 in LIMITS AND RENEWALS the last collection published during Kipling's life. A fine copy.

ref. 139497Unique foldout Artist Book by Barry McCallion. Fine in fine clamshell box. Signed and dated by the artist on the title page. From the colophon: "Excerpts from Kim Rudyard Kipling's novel occupy the recto pages of this book. The verso pages begin as a large emply circle where page after page images slowly accrete by the addition of common objects: a begging bowl prayer beads an arrow a chair a leaf a cloud. The verso and recto pages face each other developing and advancing as consectutive narratives one visual and the other verbal. I used Richard de Bas cream wove paper for the endpapers and white Rives BFK paper for the text block. The drawings are made with India ink pens and brushed Winsor Newton metallic inks and colors. The book has forty-five text pages and forty-five image pages. Rhonda Miller of myhandboundbooks in Halifax Nova Scotia bound the book in a simple brown leather cover. B McCallion 2013" From the artist's website: "Barry McCallion was born in the Bronx New York and received degrees from Columbia University English Literature and Claremont Graduate University Sculpture.
