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

1910157941910. With Illustrations by Frank Craig. London: Macmillan and Co. 1910. 28 pp undated ads. Original red cloth with ganesha device in gilt.<br/> <br/> First Edition of this collection of tales and poems that form a continuation of the Puck stories begun in PUCK OF POOK'S HILL 1906. Included are four plates by Frank Craig; in later editions these were replaced with twelve illustrations by Charles Brock. REWARDS AND FAIRIES contains the first appearance in book form of the famous poem "If" which starts off If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; . Because of this poem's position in this book at the end of the tale "Brother Square-Toes" which includes George Washington as a character many thought that "If" referred to him; in fact Kipling later asserted he had in mind L. Starr Jameson leader of the Jameson Raid in the Transvaal in 1895. This is a near-fine copy light rubbing of the front cover medallion minor foxing on pages toward each end of the book slight fading of the red spine as usual. Loosely inserted is Macmillan's Autumn 1910 leaflet for New Books; at the bottom of the front free endpaper is the discreet inkstamp of the original bookseller H. & C. Treacher of Brighton.

1915149451915. I & II. The Auxiliary Fleet. / III & IV. Submarines. / V & VI. Patrols. Together six volumes. Garden City NY: Doubleday Page & Company 1915. Original light yellow wrappers lettered in green.<br/> <br/> First Editions being the American copyright issues limited according to DP&Co's annotated copy to 75 copies each. These six articles written at the instance of the Ministry of Information were issued separately from November 19th through December 1st 1915. The English and American book editions were then published sometime in December; a year later they were collected in Kipling's book SEA WARFARE December 1916. Each of the six volumes leads off with an original poem written by Kipling for the occasion. The Vol VI poem reads "Twelve verses omitted." between the third verse and the last verse: this "was only a little joke of Kipling's to indicate that it would of course take a very lengthy poem to give any idea of the dangers and tribulations incurred by the North Sea patrol" Richards. The first volume has just a hint of cover soil but otherwise all six are fine and un-worn other than the usual minor rusting of the staples. Richards A282; Stewart 394. unknown

Original olive-green cloth decorated in gilt.<br/> <br/> First American Edition published on the same day May 22nd as the English edition. Many of the illustrations are by John Lockwood Kipling Rudyard's father. This book and THE SECOND JUNGLE BOOK along with KIM and JUST SO STORIES constitute Kipling's best-loved work: For there is a unique magic in the JUNGLE BOOKs from the moment the infant Mowgli enters the wolf's lair and the moonlight is blacked out at the mouth of the cave by the great head of the tiger Shere Khan and his roar fills it with thunder. There is magic too in the jungle so glowingly portrayed with its danger-haunted thickets and the monkeys threading its frail liana ways the enchanted land of which Mowgli is to become the master; and in the animals who are his friends and mentors -- Bagheera the sleek and terrible panther; Baloo the wise old bear; Hathi the elephant; Kaa the gigantic python who makes a nest for Mowgli in his coils; Akela the leader of the wolf-pack; and the bandarlog chattering outcasts of the tree tops whose only wish is to be noticed and who immediately abandon every task they have begun. Birkenhead This volume is in near-fine condition spine cloth a little darkened a trace of rubbing at the extremities; as with most copies we have encountered in the binding process a leaf was glued down under the rear endpaper.
