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.

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.

A lovely copy in the exceptionally rare dust-jacket which unusually for the period reproduces an image different from that of the blocking on the boards. With a contemporary gift inscription to the front flyleaf: 'Alice M. L. Russell / from / John S. Russell / October 1902'. Followed by another endearing inscription presumably from the mother of the recipient to the front panel of the dust-jacket: 'This is the first edition of / Just So Stories / Dad went to great trouble to get it / therefore keep carefully'. Kipling's famous stories include: How the Whale Got His Throat How the Camel Got His Hump How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin How the Leopard Got His Spots The Elephant's Child The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo The Beginning of the Armadilloes How the First Letter Was Written How the Alphabet Was Made The Crab that Played with the Sea The Cat that Walked by Himself and The Butterfly that Stamped. The Chinese white pigment commonly used for the decorative blocking on the first issue binding famously tended to flake off and a new ink was used for the more commonly encountered second issue.
