06549London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1897. The Grand Banks - Where Boys Become Men"<br /> A Classic of the Sea<br /> <br /> KIPLING Rudyard. 'Captains Courageous' A Story of the Grand Banks. With illustrations by I. W. Taber. London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1897.<br /> <br /> First edition. Small octavo 7 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches; 184 x 121 mm. viii 245 1 blank 2 advertisements pp. With twenty-two full-page illustrations by I. W. Taber.<br /> <br /> Publisher's blue cloth front cover and spine pictorially decorated in gilt dark gray coated endpapers all edges gilt. Minimal rubbing to extremities small bookseller's description neatly affixed to front paste-down. A touch of very light foxing otherwise a near fine copy the notoriously fragile endpapers remarkably fresh and intact.<br /> <br /> One of Kipling's most enduring and widely read novels Captains Courageous stands apart within his canon as a pure sea story drawn from his own experiences aboard fishing vessels off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. First published in 1897 it tells the story of Harvey Cheyne a spoiled American boy transformed by hardship discipline and camaraderie after being swept overboard and rescued by a Gloucester fishing schooner.<br /> <br /> The novel's vivid depiction of life at sea - its dangers routines and moral code - owes much to Kipling's gift for observation and his admiration for working seamen. The result is a narrative at once adventurous and deeply humane often compared to the great maritime traditions of Dana and Melville but with a distinctly Kiplingesque emphasis on character and duty.<br /> <br /> Isaiah West Taber 1830-1912 is a slightly deceptive figure in this context - he was not primarily a book illustrator but one of the leading American photographers of the late 19th century based in San Francisco. That explains why the plates in Captains Courageous feel unusually "real": they are derived from photographic studies not traditional drawn illustration.<br /> <br /> The publisher's pictorial gilt cloth binding with its bold maritime design is particularly attractive and increasingly difficult to find in such well-preserved condition especially with the delicate coated endpapers intact and the gilt still bright.<br /> <br /> A handsome and increasingly scarce first edition of one of the great literary evocations of the sea.

34795London George Newnes Jan-Dec.1906. The complete Puck in parts; FIRST APPEARANCE preceeding the edition in book-form. Original magazine issues; 10 separate parts. Illustrated throughout. Bound in publisher's light blue pictorial wrappers. Some minor chips as expected some adsverts excised from Feb. and June issues but generally a very clean attractive set. Housed in a leather box. Also contains a Sherlockian article plus pieces by Doyle Max Pemberton P.G.Wodehouse Richard Marsh and E.Nesbit. Kipling's popular series of tales set in different historical eras including Roman Britain Anglo-Saxon England The Norman Conquest The Middle Ages and the Tudor Period. The stories are all told to two children living near Pevensey East Sussex by characters magically plucked out of history by 'Puck'. Traditionally the term 'Puck' referred to a malicious spirit or demon of popular superstition and from the 16th century the name of a mischevious goblin or Hobgoblin similar to that appearing in Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' the fairy scene from which is acted out here. Although 'Puck' is seen as a children's book in the same way 'Treasure Island' or 'King Solomon's Mines' are viewed the story-tellers are adults and the romances they describe would only be suitable for older readers.
