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.

190240117London: Macmillan and Co 1902. Very good plus. First edition of this children's classic with twelve myths about the origins of the animals illustrated by the author himself. Kipling wrote JUST SO STORIES for his own children particularly his first child Josephine "Effie" to help her fall asleep. Kipling was the son of an artist and the nephew of Edward Burne-Jones; his accomplished illustrations for these stories draw on influences as wide as Navajo art Japanese prints and the drawings of Aubrey Beardsley. While Kipling's own reputation would rise and fall alongside the culture of British imperialism these stories do not borrow from the folklore of other cultures: they constitute their own form of legend which English-speaking children of the next hundred years would experience through the sound of their parents' voices before bed. Large octavo. 9.25'' x 7''. Original full pictorial red cloth stamped in black and white spine lettered and ornamented in white. Illustrated by Kipling with 22 full-page black-and-white plates and vignettes throughout text.
