He was born in British India which inspired much of his work.</p><p>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".</p><p>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.</p><p>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 the empire was experienced. That and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts make him a force to be reckoned with."</p> Macmillan & Co. hardcover

Let the White go to the White and the Black to Black. Then whatever trouble falls is in the ordinary arse of things-neither sudden alien nor unexpected. This is the story of a man who wilfully stepped beyond the limits of decent everyday society and paid for it heavily. He knew too much in the first instance; and he saw too much in the second.

1935004250Garden City New York: Doubleday Doran & Co. Ltd. 1935. First edition. Hardcover. This first and limited edition collects two letters written by Kipling to his American publishers Frank Nelson Doubleday and his son Nelson Doubleday. The first letter was written to Nelson and used as the Foreword to A Kipling Pageant in 1935. The second letter was written to Frank and used as the Introduction to the Outward Bound Edition of Kipling's works published by Scribners in 1897 and arranged through the efforts of Frank Doubleday. The edition was limited to 950 copies each bound in marbled paper-covered boards with gilt-stamped black cloth spine the volume housed in a notched red cardboard slipcase. <br /> <br />This near-fine unread copy retains the original slipcase which is damaged and worn. The binding is square and tight with sharp corners and bright spine gilt. Neither the boards nor cloth spine show any appreciable wear. The signatures remain uncut so the copy is demonstrably unread. There are no previous ownership marks. What prevents our grading this volume as fine is spotting moderate to the first and final few leaves and thereafter primarily confined to the untrimmed fore edges. The accompanying slipcase has done its job protecting the book and remains in one piece but shows definite wear with some loss to the top and bottom edges to a maximum depth of one inch. Most of the seams show wear with the beginnings of splits evident in places. <br /> <br />This book came to us from the library of Nelson Doubleday Jr. son of Nelson Doubleday and grandson of Frank Nelson Doubleday Kiplings friend and U.S. publisher and founder of the Doubleday publishing empire. F.N. Doubleday began work in the publishing industry working for Charles Scribners Sons. His 18-year career with Scribners included the task of assembling a complete set of Kipling's works for publication in a collected edition in 1897 the aforementioned Outward Bound Edition. His work with Kipling on this endeavor sparked a friendship and partnership that lasted for decades. Kipling affectionately gave Doubleday the nickname "Effendi" a play on the initials of his name - F.N.D. Frank's son Nelson was president of the firm from 1922 to 1946 as was Nelson Jr. from 1978 to 1983. <br /> <br />Iconic English poet short-story writer and novelist Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936 is chiefly remembered for his celebration of British imperialism tales and poems of British soldiers in India and his tales for children. Despite this reputation Kiplings extraordinary body of work eludes all labels in its range and variety Kipling's work is not only of the highest artistic excellence it is deeply humane and fully expresses the sense of one of his favourite texts: Praised be Allah for the diversity of his creatures. ODNB Kipling was in his twenties when his stories of Anglo-Indian life made him a literary celebrity and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907. Kipling remains the youngest person to receive the Prize and was also the first English language author awarded. <br /> <br />Reference: Richards A428 <br/><br/> Doubleday, Doran & Co., Ltd. hardcover

1913016764London: Macmillan 1913. 5th or later Edition . Hardcover. Good. Reprint. Hardback original red cloth binding gilt titling to spine and gilt elephant roundel to upper board. Top edge gilt. 20.5 × 13cm 407pp 1. This copy has a quite remarkable maritime history. It was owned by architect Arthur J. Davis with his bookplate to the front pastedown and the rear endpapers contain two architectural pencil plans/sketches believed to relate to the smoking rooms of RMS Aquitania. The left-hand drawing is more detailed and appears to show the funnel casing at the base of the plan with a swirl in the middle suggesting the outline of a skylight; the tapering of the deck plan is consistent with the aft position of the smoking room. The right-hand drawing is a similar plan possibly representing a secondary smoking room. The presence of Davis's bookplate together with the subject matter of the sketches and his documented role in designing the public interiors of Aquitania during this period strongly suggests these drawings were executed by Davis in association with his own copy of the book. Arthur Joseph Davis 1878-1951 was an English architect trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and co-founder of the firm Mewès & Davis responsible for the interior design of the London Ritz Hotel notable country houses and the public rooms of RMS Aquitania in 1911-1914 - a period that coincides with the date of this book 1913. While no external authentication is offered the attribution is made in good faith on the basis of ownership evidence and contextual consistency. Kipling's selection of short stories first published in 1891 set in colonial India. Most had previously been published in periodicals. Condition: The pencil sketches are in good condition there is a little offsetting from each when the books has been closed and they've faced each other and some light age-toning to the endpapers. The red cloth is good but a little darkened and there is light scattered foxing to the pages throughout. However the bookplate and sketches make this a unique item of Aquitania history. <br/> <br/> Macmillan hardcover
