Rudyard Kipling (illustrator). 1st Edition. Rudyard Kipling. 1st Edition. Signed by Author. From TBCL's Children's Bookcase. Kipling, Rudyard. JUST SO STORIES FOR LITTLE CHILDREN. Signed. Illustrated by the Author. Toronto: George S. Morang & Co., Limited. 1902. Unique Copy. First Canadian Edition. Sm. 4to. 249p. With 22 plates & many in-text illustrations. Cream cloth covered boards with titles & illustrations on the spine & upper cover stamped in black. An extraordinary example with three key manuscript highlights tipped-in: 1 - Opposite page 141, Kipling on a piece of club size stationery has written out, in fact decoded the runes of Taffimai in 2 columns of 18 lines with the added "This is the identical tusk-on-uitch the tale of Taffimai ouas ritten. Etched by the author. / See Page 141 / Just So Stories / Double Day Page Edn 1902." 2 - Tipped opposite page 197, on a piece of club size stationery, Kipling has deciphered the runes on the Mutton Bone illustrated in the story: The Cat That Walked By Himself. Inscribed: "On the mutton bone / page 197. Just So Stories". Two columns of decoding followed by: " I Rudyard Kipling drew this but because there was no mutton bone in the house I faked the anatomy from memory. R.K." 3 - One page als [true copy neatly written & signed in blue fountain pen] on the letterhead of the Canadian Copper Company, Sussex, dated Nov. 30th 1912, addressed to: David H. Brown esq. " Dear Sir / Many thanks for your amusing letter of the 12th. I am sorry that any of my handicraft should have disturbed your dinner. I should imagine it would be quite hopeless to find one in the small drawing what the runes meant but I have looked up the original pictures and found that on the cross bar of the H, I put myself on record as having also written all the plays ascribed to Mrs. Gallop. I hope now that you and your friends will be able to return to their respective vocations. / Yours very sincerely / Rudyard Kipling". An extremely good example showing light use. [Stewart 261. Notes binding is usually brown/orange cloth]. First published in London, by Macmillan in 1902 this is the uncommon Canadian edition of Kipling's most famous collection of twelve animal stories & twelve poems, including "How the Camel Got His Hump" and "How the Leopard Got His Spots," "How the Whale Got his Throat," "The Elephant's Child," & "The Butterfly That Stamped." "Just So Stories has achieved nursery immortality because a genius has married two of the most tried and trusted media - the fable and the fairy-story" (Muir, 107). Stewart [260]. BMC No.1 [1984]; 'Edwardian Children's Books'. (30820).

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. None (illustrator). First edition. The first edition of Kipling's book of collected verse, with the author's ink annotations and edits. Bound in the publisher's original burgundy cloth.An extremely scarce-to-see copy of this collection of Rudyard Kipling's poetry, with annotations and edits by the author throughout. This work was originally published in October 1907.From the library of A. P. Watt & A. S. Watt of A. P. Watt and Son, literary agent of Rudyard Kipling.Throughout this copy of collected verse, Kipling reworked the order, layout, contents and the occasional wording of the poems. Some of the changes to wording, such as substituting "hansoms" for "traffic" in the final verse of 'The Broken Men', made the final version of the poem, however others, such as changing the name "Mary Pollock" to "Margaret Pollock" in 'The Derelict', did not, showing Kipling's thought process in his editing.Annotations include: A line through the publisher on the title page. A line through the page opposite the title page, entitled "Other Books by Rudyard Kipling". The third verse of "The Fires" has been removed (xi).Punctuation amendments to most pages, substituting comas, exclamation marks and semi-colons. The occasional change to the wording used, such as alternating "hansoms" for "traffic" in the final verse of "The Broken Men". On page 85 Kipling has written "To printer smaller type for all these sub-heads of song of the English R. K." "The Sacrifice of Er-hets" has a vertical line through it (p168). "Service Songs" has been crossed out (p190). The second verse of "The Gift of the Sea" has been crossed out (p248).Pencil annotation, not in Kipling's hand to p1, with "Dedication from "Barrack Room Ballads" crossed out. On page 8, "Song of the Wise Children" is directed "To follow Sestina of the Tramps Royal", with similar directions given to "Buddha at Kamakura" (p10), "The Broken Man" (p13), "The "Mary Gloster" (p45), "South Africa" (p118), "Dirge of Dead Sisters" (p126), "Cleared" (p132), "General Joubert" (p145), "Before a Midnight Breaks in Storm" (p193), "The Lesson" (p200), "Rimmon" (p210), "The Three-Decker" (p220), "The Rhyme of the Three Captains" (p222), "The Conundrum of the Workshops" (p227), "Evarra and his Gods" (p229), "In the Neolithic Age" (p231), "The Story of Ung" (p233), "The Fires" (p236), "The Legends of Evil" (p238), "Tomlinson" (p241), "The Explanation" (p246), "The Answer" (p247), "The Gift of the Sea" (p248), "The King" (p250) and "The Last Rhyme of True Thomas" (p252).

The Sussex Edition, number 72 of 525 sets only, signed by the author in the first volume and containing two volumes of previously uncollected prose. Published after Kipling's death on 18 January 1936, this magnificent posthumous edition saw a small limitation and became even rarer following the destruction of many unsold sheets during the German bombing of London. In his last years, and with his health failing, Kipling remained determined to finish editing this "great retrospective work" which was first proposed in 1928. The edition was "fuller than that of any other. [Kipling] saw the proofs of at least 21 of the edition's 35 volumes before his death" and it is now "among the most prized and most expensive of all modern editions" (Pinney, p. 231). Richards D23; Stewart, pp. 577-80. Thomas Pinney, The Letters of Rudyard Kipling, vol. 6, 1990. 35 volumes, large octavo. Original full russet niger morocco by James Burn & Co., spines lettered in gilt, raised bands ruled in blind, twin gilt fillet bordering covers, turn-ins ruled in gilt and blind, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt and red on the rough, other edges uncut. Printed on handmade paper with Ganesha watermark. Fly-titles printed in orange. Bindings slightly darkened, occasional light scuffs and internal marks, otherwise clean. A near-fine set.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
Folio (321 x 200 mm). 3½ pp. on 4 ff. Autograph emendations and cancellations in black ink, editorial annotations in pencil and pink ink in another hand (each of the first three leaves in two pieces and repaired with thick tape). An intriguing autograph manuscript by Kipling for a satirical short story. Written to be published in the Pall Mall Gazette, "Things As They Are" never appeared there and is not published in any of the collected editions of Kipling's work. Kipling recounts the details of a conversation between "That very terrible deity The God of things as They are" and the British public, imagined here as a teething kitten, on the failure of most artists to truly grasp the beauty of the world around them. - The manuscript was written by Kipling for the Pall Mall Gazette under the condition that his name not be attached to it; the editor, Harry Cust, refused to grant this anonymity, so Kipling declined to have it published. Rudyard Kipling was just one of the literary luminaries enticed to join the ranks of contributors to William Waldorf Astor's Gazette under the editorship of Harry Cust, who transformed the publication into one of the best respected evening journals of the time after his appointment in 1892; alongside Kipling, it featured work from H. G. Wells, Algernon Swinburne, Jack London, and Joseph Conrad. The manuscript was probably written between 1892 and 1896: Kipling writes on the same theme in an article published by The Times on 20 August 1892 entitled "Half-a-Dozen Pictures", and by 1896 Cust had ceased to edit the Gazette.

It includes: Wee Willie Winkie, The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Stories, Captains Courageous, The Jungle Book, The Second Jungle Book, Puck of Pook's Hill, Plain Tales from the Hills, Life's Handicap, The Day's Work, Stalky & Co., Kim, Just So Stories, and much more.

PROVENANCE: John Francis Neylan, with his bookplate designed by William H. Wilke and printed by John Henry Nash, the famous California printer. Neylan (1885-1960) was a noted San Francisco lawyer who was chairman of the Board of Regents of the University of California. Additionally he was William Randolph Hearst's chief attorney with close ties to the Hearst newspapers, and thus had enormous political clout and considerable wealth. Stewart, Kipling, pp. 573-574.

Condition: Very Good. First Edition, Third Printing. First edition, third printing, published just two months after the first printing. A fantastic association copy, signed by Rudyard Kipling on the title page and inscribed to "Janet Aitken from her obliged and obedient servant the author Jul. 1911," beneath which Kipling has struck through his printed name and signed below it. Then three years old, aristocrat and socialite Janet Gladys Aitken (later Campbell, Montagu, and Kidd), was the daughter of Kipling's close friend Max Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook. Beaverbrook was a highly influential Canadian-British press magnate and politician and his daughter Janet grew up with her family entertaining powerful and influential figures such as Kipling, Sir Winston Churchill, and David Lloyd George at their family home. Beaverbrook met Kipling in 1910 after he relocated his family to Britain from Canada; Kipling advised Beaverbrook on the purchase of Cherkely Court, his Surrey mansion and later even became godfather to Beaverbrook's youngest son, Peter. In her autobiography, Janet recalls Kipling, whom as a child she nicknamed "Mr Sad": "He had a drooping moustache and never seemed to smile.I felt a bit sorry for him but never said so because he never seemed to notice I was there.He would stand staring soulfully at us as we clattered past.I was always pleased to see him". Ultimately a rift developed between Beaverbrook and Kipling, who endorsed Irish Home Rule, and despite the efforts of Janet and Kipling's daughter Elsie, the two never reconciled. Bound in publisher's original red pictorial cloth stamped in black and white. Very Good with fading to spine and bottom of rear cover, extremities a little worn and frayed, front hinge tender and rear hinge partly cracked but holding, contents mildly foxed throughout; with Beaverbrook's family bookplate to the front pastedown. Signed copies of this title are rare, especially those with such a close association and inscribed; just six other inscribed copies are known. Housed in a custom red cloth chemise case.
