"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.

1956réf. 836Garden City New York: Doubleday & Company Inc 1956. Book Club Edition. Cloth. Very Fine/Very Fine. Richard M. Powers. 2 vols 8vos black cloth with gold lettering on spine Mylar-protected pictorial and colorful dust jackets--and title pages--with numerous painted scenes of India by Richard Powers unclipped and spendidvol. I: ix 531 pages & vol. II: vii 505 pages. Two volumes of Kipling's best stories in splendid overall condition and extra special colorful dust jackets expressive of India. Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865 - 1936 was an English journalist short-story writer poet and novelist. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book 1894 Kim 1901 and many short stories including "The Man Who Would Be King" 1888. His poems include "Mandalay" 1890 "Gunga Din" 1890 "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" 1919 "The White Man's Burden" 1899 and "If-" 1910. He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift." Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom in both prose and verse in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius as distinct from fine intelligence that I have ever known." In 1907 at the age of 42 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize and its youngest recipient to date.--Wikipedia Exceptional condition internally and externally. Slight loss to upper right corner of dust jacket in volume two with the lovely Indian woman on its cover. For those who sometimes look askance at "Book Club Editions" kindly remember that from the large print runs most are usually destroyed especially their often fine dust jackets and that such editions represent genuine rarities often of special bibliographic interest--especially if in superior condition or with noteworthy editors as is the case here.
