FIRST EDITION PRECEDING THE BRITISH EDITION. A handsome copy of Kipling's picaresque novel of India generally considered his masterpiece and one of his most popular works.<br> Kipling was born in Bombay grew up in London and traveled throughout the world. “Widely regarded as unofficial poet laureate he refused many honours; in 1907 he was the first English writer to receive the Nobel Prize†Oxf Comp to Eng Lit. Kipling was popular with common soldiers and his phrase “the white man’s burden†influenced and was used to justify the period of neo-colonialism up until the second World War. While he was and remains a controversial figure his children’s books do not have this quality and are considered some of his greatest achievements. KIM of course is considered the greatest representation of his talents and is considered by many to be Kipling"s greatest work of all. Doubleday, Page & Company hardcover
