He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift." Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom in both prose and verse in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 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 at the age of 42 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize and its youngest recipient to date.--Wikipedia Exceptional condition internally and externally. Slight loss to upper right corner of dust jacket in volume two with the lovely Indian woman on its cover. For those who sometimes look askance at "Book Club Editions" kindly remember that from the large print runs most are usually destroyed especially their often fine dust jackets and that such editions represent genuine rarities often of special bibliographic interest--especially if in superior condition or with noteworthy editors as is the case here.
