With loose clipping of a collection of memorial tributes to Kipling from the Sunday Times 19 January 1936 Kipling had died on 18 January including a recollection from Pestonji Bomanji 1851-1938 a Mumbai-based Parsi artist who had studied at the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy School of Art under Kipling's father and knew Kipling himself as as a child. Bomanji here recalls Kipling coming into the modelling studio at the J.J. School of Art and inventing 'childish romances around the models of nymphs gnomes and gargoyles'. He was the inspiration for the Just So Story 'How the Rhinoceros got his Wrinkly Skin' in which a rhinoceros steals a cake from a Parsi 'from whose hat the rays of the sun were reflected in more-than-oriental splendour' and lives to regret it hence the mention in his recollection here: 'I never remember giving Rudyard a cake .'. Also included are 3 further loose inserts: 1 entry from a bookseller's catalogue entry for this edition not this copy; 2 slip of paper with child's drawing on one side and what seems to be an adult's record of a child's response to reading The Elephant's Child dated 1979 all in pencil; 3 newspaper cutting with pictures of a baby armadillo accompanying 'Beginning of the Armadillos'. With 22 full-page b/w illustrations and numerous vignettes all by Kipling himself who although he did not follow his father into painting clearly 'had a distinct gift' ODNB. The Just So Stories begun as bed-time stories for Kipling's daughter Josephine who died in 1899 were published serially from 1897 and in this book edition in 1902. They remain best-beloved classics of children's literature. Robust packaging. Tracking can be added to overseas orders on request. Used books are exempt from USA tariffs. 1st edition 1st impression.
