Jonathan Cape, London, 1975. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/Very Good. Foreword by author and index. Illustrated end pages, being the initials of Rudyard Kipling from his own X libris plate, produced multiple times. Blue coloured cloth covered boards with gilt coloured titles to the back strip and gilt publisher's logo to the lower right-hand corner of the front panel. Illustrated dustwrapper with black coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. In his own lifetime, and, in the decades since his death Rudyard Kipling has been reviled and criticised by literary critics, lauded by the same literary critics, falling in and out of favour, but, somehow with the magic powers of his language survives. This is the story of this survival. Rubbing of the lower edges with age toning of the text block edges and pages. Creasing of the top dustwrapper edge with rubbing of the panels. Some foxing to the verso. This is the first USA edition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. [6], 7 - 344 pages,. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1.
