The book: Captains Courageous follows Harvey Cheyne the spoiled teenage son of a wealthy American industrialist who falls overboard from a transatlantic liner and is rescued by the crew of the Gloucester fishing schooner We're Here. Unable to persuade the fishermen of his wealth or importance Harvey is put to work alongside them for the remainder of the season. Life aboard the schooner—dangerous disciplined and utterly removed from his privileged upbringing—gradually transforms him. First published in book form in 1897 the novel grew from Kipling's fascination with New England maritime culture and the hazardous cod fishery of the Grand Banks. The result is one of his most vivid adventure stories rich in nautical detail fishermen's speech and descriptions of the North Atlantic.

Minimal rubbing to extremities small bookseller's description neatly affixed to front paste-down. A touch of very light foxing otherwise a near fine copy the notoriously fragile endpapers remarkably fresh and intact. One of Kipling's most enduring and widely read novels Captains Courageous stands apart within his canon as a pure sea story drawn from his own experiences aboard fishing vessels off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. First published in 1897 it tells the story of Harvey Cheyne a spoiled American boy transformed by hardship discipline and camaraderie after being swept overboard and rescued by a Gloucester fishing schooner. The novel's vivid depiction of life at sea - its dangers routines and moral code - owes much to Kipling's gift for observation and his admiration for working seamen. The result is a narrative at once adventurous and deeply humane often compared to the great maritime traditions of Dana and Melville but with a distinctly Kiplingesque emphasis on character and duty. Isaiah West Taber 1830-1912 is a slightly deceptive figure in this context - he was not primarily a book illustrator but one of the leading American photographers of the late 19th century based in San Francisco. That explains why the plates in Captains Courageous feel unusually "real": they are derived from photographic studies not traditional drawn illustration. The publisher's pictorial gilt cloth binding with its bold maritime design is particularly attractive and increasingly difficult to find in such well-preserved condition especially with the delicate coated endpapers intact and the gilt still bright. A handsome and increasingly scarce first edition of one of the great literary evocations of the sea. London: Macmillan and Co., Limited, 1897 unknown
