Inscribed on the title-page from Kipling to Felix Doty the son of his close friend and American publisher Frank N. Doubleday "Jack Doty from the Author: Mar 28: 99: Rudyard Kipling." With a holograph four-line quotation on the facing page from the "Law of the Jungle" "Wash daily from nose tip to tail tip - / drink deeply but never too deep. / And remember the night is for hunting & / forget not the day is for sleep / R.K."<br/>Frank N. Doubleday or "Effendi" - the nickname given him by Kipling founded Doubleday & McClure Company in 1897 partly on the author's advice.

1895119977London: Macmillan and Co. 1895. First edition of Kipling's Second Jungle Book. Octavo original blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine and gilt vignette to the front panel all edges gilt pictorial title pages illustrated. In near fine condition with light rubbing to the extremities. Contemporary ownership inscription. Kipling's Jungle Books center on the story of Mowgli an orphaned 'man-cub' who is raised in the jungle of India by wolves where he comes to learn the Laws of the Jungle. A major theme throughout the books is abandonment followed by fostering as in the life of Mowgli echoing Kipling's own childhood. Another is law vs. freedom; the stories are not about animal behavior but about human archetypes in animal form. The books remain popular to this day and have been adapted several times for film and other media including the classic Walt Disney 1967 animation and its 2016 remake.
