1899ref. 2326707New York: Doubleday & McClure Co 1899. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 7x5x1. First American edition. Front hinge nearly split but still holding ink gift note on front free endpaper rear hinge starting. 1899 Hard Cover. 310 pp. The Anglo-Indian author Rudyard Kipling 1865 - 1936 who was strongly influenced by Indian culture used a swastika as his personal emblem on the covers and flyleaves of many editions of his books along with the elephant signifying his affinity with India. With the rise of Nazism Kipling ceased to use the swastika. "Kipling was so disgusted by the Nazis and the sight of their flag that he removed the swastika a Hindu symbol of good luck from his bookbindings. It had been his trademark for nearly forty years but it was now 'defiled beyond redemption'." This latter quote is footnoted "K to Bok 1 Nov. 1935 and to White 28 Dec 1935. Stalky & Co. is a novel by Rudyard Kipling about adolescent boys at a British boarding school. It is a collection of school stories whose juvenile protagonists display a know-it-all cynical outlook on patriotism and authority. It was first published in 1899 after the stories had appeared in magazines during the previous two years. It is set at a school dubbed "the College" or "the Coll." which is based on the actual United Services College that Kipling attended as a boy.1 The character Beetle one of the main trio is partly based on Kipling himself while the charismatic character Stalky is based on Lionel Dunsterville M'Turk is based on George Charles Beresford Mr King is based on William Carr Crofts2 and the headmaster Mr. Bates is based on Cormell Price headmaster of the United Services College. The stories have elements of revenge the macabre bullying and violence and hints about sex making them far from childish or idealised. For example Beetle pokes fun at an earlier more earnest boys' book Eric or Little by Little thus flaunting his more worldly outlook. The final chapter recounts events in the lives of the boys when as adults they are in the armed forces in India. It is implied that the mischievous pranks of the boys in school were splendid training for their role as instruments of the British Empire.--Wikipedia Doubleday & McClure Co hardcover books
