Mild foxing frontis tissue-guard extremities rubbed internally clean binding tight and square a near fine copy. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham; extra-illustrated with thirteen additional half-tone illustrations depicting scenes alongside Kipling's stories. 277pp. EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED BRITISH FANTASY<br /> <br /> In a whimsy-laced journey through time the trickster Puck summons visitors from across England’s past—from Roman legionaries to Norman knights and Magna Carta–era merchants—each weaving captivating stories steeped in history and folklore. Framed by evocative poems these vignettes blend fantasy with national legacy culminating in a celebration of England’s evolving identity. The first US edition is notable for its four haunting color plates by Arthur Rackham absent from the British edition.<br /> <br /> This copy is further distinguished as an extra-illustrated example enriched by a previous owner with thirteen additional half-tone illustrations depicting scenes of Ancient Rome. The juxtaposition of Kipling’s imaginative retelling of English history with Roman imagery creates a layered dialogue between text and illustration offering a fascinating glimpse into the interpretive creativity of early 20th-century collectors.<br /> <br /> Livingston 283.

1892157451892. London: William Heinemann 1892. 8 pp undated ads. Original salmon cloth decorated in brown.<br/> <br/> First Edition of Kipling's only serious attempt at literary collaboration. A Vermonter Wolcott Balestier was an American author and publisher's agent in London; in fact in 1890 he and Heinemann had founded the Heinemann & Balestier publishing house in Leipzig books in English for the Continental market. He had written about the American "Wild West" and Kipling of course had written about India. THE NAULAHKA a misspelling of "naulakha" which in Hindu means nine lakhs i.e. 900000 rupees is an odd tale that combines these two environments into "A Story of East and West" -- a man from a Western boom-town attempts to get possession of a fabulous jewel in India. In December 1891 six months before this was published Balestier suddenly died at age 29 of typhoid fever in Dresden. Kipling had met Wolcott's sister Carrie and just a month after Wolcott died she became Kipling's wife; the Kiplings built their first home in Vermont and in memory of her brother named it "Naulakha" -- spelled correctly. The newlywed Kiplings lived in Vermont for four years toward the end of which Kipling wrote CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS about the Massachusetts fishing fleet; but it all came crashing down when Wolcott's brother Beatty was arrested for assaulting Kipling -- there was an altercation after Kipling had created a little garden on land he owned but had allowed Beatty to hay: the Kiplings fled to England. This is an unusually clean copy just about fine a hint of rubbing at the spine ends; such condition is scarce for this book in view of its soil-prone salmon-colored binding.

1946000281London: The Reprint Society 1946 The opening of the first story Beyond the Pale a cautionary tale reads: "MAN should whatever happens keep to his own caste race breed. Let the White go to the White and the Black to Black. Then whatever trouble falls is in the ordinary arse of things-neither sudden alien nor unexpected. This is the story of a man who wilfully stepped beyond the limits of decent everyday society and paid for it heavily. He knew too much in the first instance; and he saw too much in the second. He took too deep an interest in native life ; but he will never do so again." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 472 pages - economic standard paper ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
