Armorial bookplate at front pastedown of William George Riddell a descendant of the armigerous Clan Riddell based on the coat of arms. A collection of short stories originally published in 1898 the Day's Work is considered to be one of Kipling's better and most complex aggregations and is the subject of John Coate's recent scholarly treatment "The Day's Work: Kipling and the Idea of Sacrifice" 1997. Among the included stories is one with the title ".007" - though while Kipling certainly is at his adventurous best here that title bears no relation to the Ian Fleming character. Other tales include: The Bridge-Builders A Walking Delegate The Ship that found Herself The Tomb of His Ancestors The Devil and the Deep Sea William the Conqueror - Part I William the Conqueror - Part II .007 The Maltese Cat "Bread Upon the Waters" An Error in the Fourth Dimension My Sunday At Home and the Brushwood Boy.
