1897ref. 154961897. With Illustrations by I.W. Taber. London: Macmillan and Co. 1897. 2 pp undated ads. Original blue cloth pictorially decorated in gilt all page edges gilt. First English Edition published about a month after the American. This is Kipling's great novel about the cod fishing fleet of Gloucester Massachusetts written while the newlywed Kiplings lived in Vermont. Kipling freely acknowledged that the book owed much to Dr. James Conland of Brattleboro who brought the Kiplings' elder daughter into the world -- for Conland had been a member of the Massachusetts fishing fleet and it was he who took Kipling to explore the wharves and quays of Boston and Gloucester. The American edition in fact is dedicated to Conland; this English edition bears no dedication. This is the only book of Kipling's which is set entirely in America. All the characters are American. Not only that but the heart of the book -- its moral in a single sentence -- is one of Kipling's main beliefs of this period expressed in terms essentially American or perhaps more particularly New England. He put it later in verse: ".If you don't work you will die!" It is a saga of hard physical work in conflict with natural forces. It is a book which could hardly have been written by anyone who did not admire Huckleberry Finn; it is a book whose claim to survival rests mainly on detail and it is all American detail Mason. CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS was the fourth and last volume to be bound in Macmillan's attractive gift binding style used for the JUNGLE BOOKs in 1894-1895 and for SOLDIER TALES in 1896. In 1937 forty years after publication this tale was made into a film starring Freddie Bartholomew Spencer Tracy who won an Oscar Lionel Barrymore and Mickey Rooney. This is a near-fine copy spine less than bright slight rubbing at the extremities light foxing; the original black-coated endpapers are not cracked. Richards A103; Stewart 163. unknown books

Crease on rear board corner causing minor split to rear endpaper spine slightly toned ink name and a few small spots on front endpapers rear hinge just beginning to weaken. 1897 Hard Cover. 323 pp. Olive cloth gilt titles and decorations with black and red borders and accents engraved frontispiece and plates. "First published in 1897 'Captains Courageous' follows the adventures of Harvey Cheyne a spoiled rich young man who is accidentally washed overboard from a luxury ocean liner and is rescued by the Portuguese captain of a fishing boat and his hard scrabble crew. Kipling drawing on his own experiences living in Vermont fills this classic coming of age story with period details of late nineteenth-century American fishing whaling and railroad travel. Forced to work for his place on the ship fifteen-year-old Harvey must overcome his own stubbornness and privileged up-bringing as he learns to survive and even thrive in the harsh demanding and often dangerous life at sea. Through hard work and discipline Harvey learns the values of self-reliance and friendship as he becomes a skilled fisherman and an accepted and equal member of the crew. The novel is both a thrilling test of Harvey's character and an examination of class and privilege in nineteenth-century America. Exhilarating and ultimately redemptive the novel was heralded by Theodore Roosevelt in his 1900 essay 'What We Can Expect of the American Boy' as describing in the 'liveliest way just what a boy should be and do.
