1901147661901. in 1901 dust jacket London: Macmillan and Co. 1901. 2 pp undated ads. Original red cloth with Ganesha device in gilt with dust jacket.<br/><br/> First English Edition of the book that "is acknowledged as Kipling's masterpiece in fiction. The novel is the finest written about the India of the British Empire" CGEL. It follows the adventures of an orphan son of a British soldier who is raised by an Indian woman becomes a disciple to a Lama and ultimately becomes an undercover agent as well. The illustrations are by John Lockwood Kipling the author's father. The American edition is considered to have been published earlier though in the same month as the English one. As with most of Kipling's British editions published by Macmillan the binding is red cloth with in gilt the "Ganesha" device -- an elephant's head with a swastika the latter had been a ubiquitous symbol in India for millennia; its use ceased in the early 1930s when events in Germany gave the symbol a whole new meaning. This volume is in bright just-about-fine condition just a touch of wear at the head of the spine. Included is the quite scarce 1901 dust jacket in its first state listing on the rear panel 14 titles in the Uniform Edition with THE NAULAHKA at the bottom and with KIM at the top with no statement of print number. The jacket is in good-to-very good condition spine quite darkened so as to be illegible wear particularly at the ends of the jacket's spine. Richards A174; Stewart 254; Livingston 250.

1943122437Cambridge Massachusetts: Houghton Library 1943. First edition in book form of this previously unpublished letter written by Kipling to William Joshua Harding seeking an army commission for his son John. Octavo original wrappers as issued. One of only seventy-five numbered copies this is number 32. In fine condition. Rare. Kipling's son John was about three years old when this letter was written. Despite his son's short-sightedness Kipling sought to get him an army commission when the First World War broke out in August 1914. John was killed in the Battle of Loos causing his family immense grief and placing a great strain on the marriage as Kipling's wife had strongly opposed his enlisting. Later Kipling wrote of him "I had a boy who came near writing stories about Kangaroos and Queensland pearl-fishers. But another call came and Johnny went to France where the stars are still shining although Johnny's drum has ceased to beat." Houghton Library unknown books
4642Kipling corresponds with fellow writer H. Rider Haggard whom he calls "Dear Old Man" mainly discussing Haggard's last important novel "When the World Shook." "Your Oro is no small person - a gent with a delicate mind and insensitive leanings. Note however that the idea of a great gyroscope that goes out of control has been used. It was created for demonstration purposes slipped on its base and ground a hall full of people to rags. Put on your scale it's a simply hellish idea." Here Kipling illustrates the gyroscope in a small sketch and suggests an alternative gyroscope that shifts internal strata and tilts the earth. "Get the thing to unchain some inconceivably vast.heated rocks loose.The girl could stop it at the last minute of course." He describes Haggard's account of Theodore Roosevelt as "most interesting. I don't think he need worry.about coming over. He doubts that many in England would show interest in discussing American attitudes. . Europe was embroiled in the first World War at this time January 1917 prior to the US entry about four months after Kipling wrote to Haggard. Kipling signs with initials "R. K." With holograph envelope initialed in lower left corner. Condition: Visible rust stains on lower portion of first page. Kipling enjoyed Haggard's completed novel which reflected Kipling's suggestion according to D. S. Higgins "Rider Haggard: The Great Storyteller." 1981. In an earlier biography of Haggard "Rider Haggard: His Life & World" Morton Cohen 1960 the second edition 1968 Cohen noted that Kipling provided the idea for "When the World Shook." Kipling's comments on Roosevelt were copied by Haggard in his diary entry for Jan. 19 1917. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in English in both prose and verse in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature making him the first English language writer to receive the prize and to date he remains its youngest recipient. Among other honors he was sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood all of which he declined. A wonderful letter.
