1902ref. 8119London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1902. First edition. Fine. A Fine copy. Finely bound in full red crushed morocco possibly by Asprey though unsigned with pictorial gilt elephant. Complete with twenty-two plates and text illustrations throughout. Spine in compartments with raised bands and elephant motif. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Original cloth cover bound in at rear. A very attractive example clean and bright throughout in a charming binding. A classic work of children's literature and one of Kipling's most beloved titles Just So Stories compiles origin tales like "How the Leopard Got its Spots" and "How the Elephant Got his Trunk" and "How the Camel Got His Hump." The book was charmingly illustrated by Kipling himself who reported that the stories were born of out the bedtime tales that he told his daughter. Kipling is of course best known for The Jungle Book and its sequel which earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907 and secured his place in the canon of English storytelling. Based on folktales and legends that Kipling learned during his childhood in India the Jungle Books were met with huge success upon publication and continue to enthrall readers of all ages to this day. According to Professor Edwin L. Miller their publication "caused even severe critics of Kipling's previous work to admit that he is a writer of inspired genius." Largely focused on man's relationship to nature the Jungle Books in part narrate the tales of Mowgli a human "man-cub" raised by wolves as he tries to find his proper place in the world. For contributions like these Kipling became the first English-language writer and the youngest ever to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Fine. Macmillan and Co., Limited unknown

With loose clipping of a collection of memorial tributes to Kipling from the Sunday Times 19 January 1936 Kipling had died on 18 January including a recollection from Pestonji Bomanji 1851-1938 a Mumbai-based Parsi artist who had studied at the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy School of Art under Kipling's father and knew Kipling himself as as a child. Bomanji here recalls Kipling coming into the modelling studio at the J.J. School of Art and inventing 'childish romances around the models of nymphs gnomes and gargoyles'. He was the inspiration for the Just So Story 'How the Rhinoceros got his Wrinkly Skin' in which a rhinoceros steals a cake from a Parsi 'from whose hat the rays of the sun were reflected in more-than-oriental splendour' and lives to regret it hence the mention in his recollection here: 'I never remember giving Rudyard a cake .'. Also included are 3 further loose inserts: 1 entry from a bookseller's catalogue entry for this edition not this copy; 2 slip of paper with child's drawing on one side and what seems to be an adult's record of a child's response to reading The Elephant's Child dated 1979 all in pencil; 3 newspaper cutting with pictures of a baby armadillo accompanying 'Beginning of the Armadillos'. With 22 full-page b/w illustrations and numerous vignettes all by Kipling himself who although he did not follow his father into painting clearly 'had a distinct gift' ODNB. The Just So Stories begun as bed-time stories for Kipling's daughter Josephine who died in 1899 were published serially from 1897 and in this book edition in 1902. They remain best-beloved classics of children's literature. Robust packaging. Tracking can be added to overseas orders on request. Used books are exempt from USA tariffs. 1st edition 1st impression.
