Hand in Hand: Verses by Mother and Daughter.

Verse by Kipling’s mother and sister. Loosely inserted is a poor, but legible, photocopy of the publisher’s agreement with the authors, dated 16 April 1902, which offers useful information on Mathews’ contractual arrangements, with details of royalties, costs, presentation copies and so on: “accounts to be rendered half-yearly.”

A line of worming at the bottom edge of pages 5-54, not affecting text, otherwise a good copy. Nelson, EM, 1902.9.
