First edition of this collection of short stories and poems composed by the Kipling family. The work includes the first appearance of Rudyard Kipling’s “The Phantom ’Rickshaw” and “The Strange Ride of Marrowbie Jukes, C.E.”
Published in an edition of 250 copies.
A good copy. Former owner’s inscription to front wrapper. Wrappers quite extensively but skilfully restored and showing some wear, original back wrap lacking, replaced with a blank. Also lacking the final 2pp. advertisements on yellow paper at rear, though, as noted by the bibliographer, the adverts were not integral and it is normal to find copies with a differing number of adverts, including some with none at all. Small tear at fore-edge throughout, not affecting text, and crease down the middle of the text block until about half-way through.
Richards A4.
