In full: "I am of course honoured to be on the Committee of the Emile Verhaeren's memorial but it seems to me that if he is to be adequately honoured by England it should be officially and for that purpose you must have the Poet Laureate Robert Bridges to deliver the oration and I think you would find Mr. Edmund Gosse would agree with this.

1518Best.-Nr. 022154Naulakha Waite Vermont 15 June 1896. Framed Letter. Not examined out of frame. Appears Fine. Humorous handwritten one-page letter SIGNED "Rudyard Kipling" on his Naulakha Waite Vermont stationery to William Livingston Alden. In full: "Many thanks for your kind little note. It's a rummy land this side but there's a heap of material that I've got out of it. however i shall be clearing out in the Fall to get the taste out of my mouth. You see the devil of it is that a reporter once found out from a hired Swede girl that I occasionally sat down to dinner in that kind of rig which the downtrodden subjects of an effete monarchy call evening dress. Since then I have been considered with suspicion. But you'll see me come along in time back to civilization with a bicycle and a fishing-rod." Attractively and professionally matted and framed with a photographic reproduction of Kipling to an overall size of 15-1/2" x 13." Alden was an American journalist humorist and writer of fiction. He had been Consul General in Rome 1885-89 and from 1892 until his death in 1908 he lived in London where he was a regular contributor to magazines. The letterhead is of interest as in 1895 the U. S. Postmaster General authorized a special post office since Kipling received more mail than the largest business in the area. Waite Vermont existed solely in the home of and was named for the Kiplings' neighbor Anna F. Waite who was appointed Postmistress. The Kiplings left Vermont not long after this letter was written never to return Waite Vermont ceased to exist the following year. Today philatelists prize the Waite postmark being the only post office ever created for an individual. Kipling wrote THE JUNGLE BOOK and CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS in Vermont. It is said that Kipling's Naulakha is where skiing was introduced to Vermont and the site of the state's first tennis court. unknown books

Mr Macdonald has written me that Trix would like to have the painted fire screen from the dining room at The Gables Kipling's parents' home. I sent the . entrée dishes . to be put with her other things & I sent at the same time an 'Outward Bound' edition which you said you thought she would like to have." SIGNED in full.

Boards rubbed hinges starting ink name and notes. vi 413 pp. A collection of poetry by Rudyard Kipling. Joseph Rudyard Kipling 30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936 was an English novelist short-story writer poet and journalist. He was born in British India which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include the Jungle Book duology The Jungle Book 1894; The Second Jungle Book 1895 Kim 1901 the Just So Stories 1902 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 seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. His children's books are classics; one critic noted "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". Kipling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was among the United Kingdom's most popular writers. 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 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature as the first English-language writer to receive the prize and at 41 its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and several times for a knighthood but declined both. Following his death in 1936 his ashes were interred at Poets' Corner part of the South Transept of Westminster Abbey. Kipling's subsequent reputation has changed with the political and social climate of the age. The contrasting views of him continued for much of the 20th century. Literary critic Douglas Kerr wrote: "Kipling is still an author who can inspire passionate disagreement and his place in literary and cultural history is far from settled. But as the age of the European empires recedes he is recognised as an incomparable if controversial interpreter of how empire was experienced. That and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts make him a force to be reckoned with." The collection of Barrack-Room Ballads was issued in March 1892 first published individually for the most part in 1890 and contained his poems "Mandalay" and "Gunga Din". A.L.

Best.-Nr. 139497Unique foldout Artist Book by Barry McCallion. Fine in fine clamshell box. Signed and dated by the artist on the title page. From the colophon: "Excerpts from Kim Rudyard Kipling's novel occupy the recto pages of this book. The verso pages begin as a large emply circle where page after page images slowly accrete by the addition of common objects: a begging bowl prayer beads an arrow a chair a leaf a cloud. The verso and recto pages face each other developing and advancing as consectutive narratives one visual and the other verbal. I used Richard de Bas cream wove paper for the endpapers and white Rives BFK paper for the text block. The drawings are made with India ink pens and brushed Winsor Newton metallic inks and colors. The book has forty-five text pages and forty-five image pages. Rhonda Miller of myhandboundbooks in Halifax Nova Scotia bound the book in a simple brown leather cover. B McCallion 2013" From the artist's website: "Barry McCallion was born in the Bronx New York and received degrees from Columbia University English Literature and Claremont Graduate University Sculpture. His natural inclination to travel has been officially sponsored by the DAAD artist in residence program to Berlin the Cite des Arts Atelier in Paris and most recently by the Visual Arts Board of the New Zealand and Australian Arts Councils. The artist currently lives and works on the east end of Long Island New York."
