1937122037Garden City: Doubleday Doran & Company 1937. First American edition of Kipling's autobiography. Octavo original cloth frontispiece. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Kipling began work on the autobiography on 1 August 1935 and was last reported to work on it doing revisions on 26 December of the same year. He died on 18 January 1936. The unfinished manuscript was edited and prepared for publication by his wife Caroline Starr Balestier. After preliminary printing of selections from the text in a number of newspapers the book was published by Macmillan Kipling's established UK publisher on 21 December 1937. Kipling had stated the intention to deal in this account with "his life from the point of view of his work". He thus focuses on describing the inspiration genesis and workmanship of his literary creations while remaining reticent on most facets of his private life that are not directly connected to his works.
