Ibbetson" on top blank margin. This is a complete copy of the first edition first impression of a book authored by members of the Kipling family. Published in a limited run of 250 copies it was bound around the time of publication and it is particularly rare to have its original wrappers and advertisements at the end. The book marks the first appearance of The Phantom 'Rickshaw and The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes C.E. Rudyard Kipling later described the origins of this work in his 1937 autobiography Something of Myself recalling that "in the cold weather of 1885 we four made up a Christmas annual which pleased us a good deal and attracted a certain amount of attention. Later much later it became a 'collector's piece' in the US book-market and to that extent smudged the memories of its birth." The collection consists of 16 pieces-eight in prose and eight in verse-written by "four Anglo-Indian writers" as stated on the title page. The authors who remained anonymous throughout were Kipling himself his father mother and sister. Kipling took the initiative to publish the book through the Civil and Military Gazette selling it by subscription. At just 19 years old he contributed half of the content using this opportunity to bring his work into print. His ghost stories gained wider recognition when they were later reprinted in The Phantom 'Rickshaw and Other Tales 1890. Kipling's father however was somewhat reluctant about the publication. He wrote to Margaret Burne-Jones expressing his hope that someone would "rap Rudyard's knuckles for the unwholesomeness of The Phantom 'Rickshaw and the coarseness of The Tragedy of Teeth." The book's binding process was notably chaotic. Kipling recalled that the work took place at night by candlelight with workers on overtime incentivized with brandy and free tobacco to keep production moving. Over forty men including binders were involved in assembling Quartette. The publication was officially announced on 19 December and its cover design is believed to have been created by Kipling's father John Lockwood Kipling who was then the first principal of the Mayo School of Art in Lahore.
