1897145991897. A Story of the Grand Banks. With Illustrations by I.W. Taber. London: Macmillan and Co. 1897. 2 pp undated ads. Original blue cloth pictorially decorated in gilt all page edges gilt.<br/><br/> First English Edition published about a month after the American. This is Kipling's great novel about the cod fishing fleet of Gloucester Massachusetts written while the newlywed Kiplings lived in Vermont. Kipling freely acknowledged that the book owed much to Dr. James Conland of Brattleboro who brought the Kiplings' elder daughter into the world -- for Conland had been a member of the Massachusetts fishing fleet and it was he who took Kipling to explore the wharves and quays of Boston and Gloucester. The American edition in fact is dedicated to Conland; this English edition bears no dedication. This is the only book of Kipling's which is set entirely in America. All the characters are American. Not only that but the heart of the book -- its moral in a single sentence -- is one of Kipling's main beliefs of this period expressed in terms essentially American or perhaps more particularly New England. He put it later in verse: ".If you don't work you will die!" It is a saga of hard physical work in conflict with natural forces. It is a book which could hardly have been written by anyone who did not admire Huckleberry Finn; it is a book whose claim to survival rests mainly on detail and it is all American detail. Mason CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS was the fourth and last volume to be bound in Macmillan's attractive gift binding style used for the JUNGLE BOOKs in 1894-1895 and for SOLDIER TALES in 1896. In 1937 forty years after publication this tale was made into a film starring Freddie Bartholomew Spencer Tracy who won an Oscar Lionel Barrymore and Mickey Rooney. This is a bright near-fine copy with at the top of the rear cover a damp-mark that affects only the sheen and not the color of the cloth; there is scarcely any of the usual rubbing at the spine ends and the original black endpapers are not cracked.

1900144541900. One page on plain paper with the typed heading "THE ELMS Rottingdean: Sussex Oct. 24: 1900". The text of this letter reads: Dear Mr. Hodgson:-- In reply to yours of the 23rd I do not know whether at present I have anything by me that would suit the Anglo-Saxon Review but I sent the other day two stories to Mr. A.P. Watt Hastings House Norfolk Street Strand who manages my business and it is possible that one or other of them may be suitable for your review. Very sincerely yours signed in ink Rudyard Kipling The Anglo-Saxon Review was a short-lived "quarterly miscellany" created and edited by Lady Randolph Churchill her son Winston served as an advisor published by John Lane in handsome leatherbound volumes with elaborate gilt tooling. Contributors included Henry James Winston Churchill George Gissing and Stephen Crane but apparently not Rudyard Kipling -- though he was "reviewed" on pp 244-245 of the first number. The subscription list included many from the wealthy the nobility even heads of state. But maybe it was all a bit too much -- for there were only ten quarterly issues from June 1899 to September 1901 with this letter falling roughly in the middle; while Lady Churchill was away on the hospital ship Maine during the Boer War Sidney Low and Earl Hodgson managed publication. The letter is in very good condition with minor edge-wear and with a discreet tape-mend on the reverse side where the letter was once folded; there is also a small name and address inked onto the rear side. Provenance: from the renowned three-generation Dodge Family Autograph Collection. <br/><br/> hardcover books

1897WRCLIT71825New York: D. Appleton and Company 1897. Orange-brown cloth decorated in gilt t.e.g. others untrimmed. Some foxing to text and endleaves cabinet-size print of an early photo of Kipling mounted to verso of preliminary blank via small corner slits otherwise a very good externally brilliant copy in somewhat faded and edgeworn decorative dust jacket with small chips at spine ends and corners and some general tanning and soiling. Second American trade edition or printing dated the year following the first US trade edition which preceded the UK edition. The dust jacket for the 1896 printing is noted by Tanselle and may or may not be identical to this dust jacket though one must accept the likelihood that at some point this example will end up married to a copy of the 1896 impression. It does replicate the binding design as the first dust jacket does and includes the designer's initials a feature that was dropped from the second edition/impression binding. See Richards Color Images A92b and A92c for examples of this binding and this dust jacket. STEWART 139 ref. RICHARDS A92 note. TANSELLE 96.14. D. Appleton and Company hardcover books
