Rudyard Kipling wrote Captains Courageous during the years he lived in Vermont with his young family, in a house he designed to resemble a ship. The Dr. James Conland to whom the American edition is dedicated was the family physician, whose stories of his time in a Massachusetts fishing fleet inspired this bildungsroman about a millionaire's son who learns the value of hard work at sea. The novel drew praise from Teddy Roosevelt, and the 1937 film adaptation won Spencer Tracy an Oscar for his portrayal of a kindly fisherman. The first British edition, slightly preceded by the first American edition, was issued by Macmillan in pretty gift binding reflecting the status Kipling had already achieved as a writer. Signed copies are rare.
