1897144073London: Macmillan 1897. First edition of Kipling’s richly detailed tale of American deep-sea fishing with frontispiece and 21 illustrations by I.W. Taber. Octavo original blue cloth elegantly stamped in gilt. In near fine condition with light shelfwear. Pictorial bookplate of L.A. Shilcof to the pastedown. A sharp example. Like his two Jungle Books Kipling wrote this morality tale of life aboard a New England fishing boat while living near Brattleboro Vermont his wife’s hometown. The book thus contains “something of his feelings about America—both his affection and his irritation†Carpenter & Prichard 296. “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: ‘And the Gods of the Copy-book Maxims said: ‘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 119.

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.

One of the great nineteenth-century English adventure novels Captains Courageous follows the adventures of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr. the spoiled son of a railroad tycoon after he is saved from drowning by a Portuguese fisherman off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. After being tossed overboard an ocean liner Harvey meets Disko Troop captain of the small fishing boat We're Here who refuses to take the young man back to port but agrees to take him on as part of the crew. Over the course of the novel Harvey befriends the captain's son Dan who helps the arrogant millionaire develop into a hard-working honest young man who is self-reliant and content with living simply. <br /> The novel originally appeared as a serialization in McClure's between November 1896 and May 1897. In 1900 Teddy Roosevelt extolled the book in his essay "What We Can Expect of the American Boy" praising Kipling for describing "in the liveliest way just what a boy should be and do".<br /> "The work has always been popular in the USA and various versions have been filmed." Sutherland p. 104.<br /> <br /> The English journalist novelist poet and short-story writer Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865 - 1936 was born in British India which inspired much of his work. Captains Courageous was written in a particularly prolific period of Kipling's career when he lived in Vermont with his young family. There he produced a profusion of poetry as well as The Jungle Book. MacMillan & Co unknown

Livingston 136 Martindell 68.<br /> <br /> <p>Rudyard Kipling wrote Captains Courageous during the years he lived in Vermont with his young family in a house he designed to resemble a ship. The Dr. James Conland to whom the American edition is dedicated was the family physician whose stories of his time in a Massachusetts fishing fleet inspired this bildungsroman about a millionaire's son who learns the value of hard work at sea. The novel drew praise from Teddy Roosevelt and the 1937 film adaptation won Spencer Tracy an Oscar for his portrayal of a kindly fisherman.<br /> <br /> <p>The first British edition slightly preceded by the first American edition was issued by Macmillan in pretty gift binding reflecting the status Kipling had already achieved as a writer.
