Description: First edition, First issue, with rhyme chapter headings for Chapters VIII and XIII only. A copy with pleasing provenance, the Shattuck copy, from the important Boston family. Illustrated with 10 plates in black and white on coated paper. 8vo, ‘Kipling’ dark green cloth with lettering and pictorial decorations of the famous sailing ship in gilt and black on the upper cover and spine, t.e.g. (4), 460 pp. A handsome and pleasing copy with light evidence of age and use. FIRST EDITION, PRECEEDING THE BRITISH EDITION. A handsome copy of Kipling's picaresque novel of India, generally considered his masterpiece and one of his most popular works. Kipling was born in Bombay, grew up in London and traveled throughout the world. "Widely regarded as unofficial poet laureate, he refused many honours; in 1907 he was the first English writer to receive the Nobel Prize" [Oxf Comp to Eng Lit]. Kipling was popular with common soldiers and his phrase, "the white man’s burden" influenced and was used to justify the period of neo-colonialism up until the second World War. While he was and remains a controversial figure, his children’s books do not have this quality and are considered some of his greatest achievements. KIM, of course, is considered the greatest representation of his talents and is considered by many to be Kipling"s greatest work of all.

Kipling, Rudyard. Kim.. Doubleday, Page & Company, New York, 1901.

Price: US$450.00 + shipping

Description: First edition with the chapter-heading rhymes for only chapters VII and VIII as called of what many consider Kipling's masterpiece. Octavo, original cloth, embossed black and gilt to the front panel, gilt titles to the spine, illustrated. In near fine condition with light rubbing to the extremities. An exceptional example. Kim unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game, the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. The novel made the term "Great Game" popular and introduced the theme of great power rivalry and intrigue. It is set after the Second Afghan War which ended in 1881, but before the Third, probably in the period 1893 to 1898. The novel is notable for its detailed portrait of the people, culture, and varied religions of India. "The book presents a vivid picture of India, its teeming populations, religions, and superstitions, and the life of the bazaars and the road." Considered by many to be Kipling's masterpiece, opinion appears varied about its consideration as children's literature or not. Roger Sale, in his history of children's literature, concludes "Kim is the apotheosis of the Victorian cult of childhood, but it shines now as bright as ever, long after the Empire's collapse." Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2003 the book was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel."
