Description: FIRST EDITION. 8vo. (8.1 x 5.6 inches). Illustrated with four full page mono plates by Frank Craig. Neat previous owner name and date Oct. 1910, the month of publication, on the front free endpaper. A very good clean copy throughout. Publishers original burgundy cloth boards. Gilt lettering to the spine. Front board with raised circular Ganesha device in gilt. Top edge gilt. A small mark to the top of the rear board and some minor fading to the spine but overall a nice bright copy. -------- Contains the Poem If, Kipling's most enduring work of verse. A poll taken by the BBC in the UK in 2005 voted it as Britain's favourite Poem, polling twice as many votes as the number 2 choice, Lord Tennyson's The Lady of Shallot. Originally written in 1895, IF was inspired by the actions of Dr. Leander Starr Jameson, a British Officer whose forces were defeated by the Boers in 1895, but who was portrayed as a victorious hero by the British press, the poem is a powerful masterclass in maintaining the British stiff upper lip.

Kipling, Rudyard. REWARDS AND FAIRIES [colonial copy]. , 1910.
Price: US$575.00 + shipping
Description: With Illustrations by Frank Craig. London: Macmillan and Co., 1910. 6 pages of front-and-rear endpaper ads. Original blue-grey wrappers lettered in black. First Colonial Edition of this collection of tales and poems that form a continuation of the Puck stories begun in PUCK OF POOK'S HILL (1906) -- introduced by Robin Goodfellow and told to young Dan and Una. This was published in the same month (October) as the domestic edition. Included are four plates by Frank Craig; in later editions these were replaced with twelve illustrations by Charles Brock. Also included is the first appearance in book form of the famous poem "If", which leads off "If you can keep your head when all about you | Are losing theirs and blaming it on you." Kipling later asserted that in this poem he had in mind L. Starr Jameson, leader of the Jameson Raid in the Transvaal in 1895. This is an uncommon colonial copy, still in the original wrappers -- issued as No. 577 of "Macmillan's Colonial Library," so identified on the spine, on the title page, and on the recto of the rear free endpaper (No. 579 is the highest number in the listing of colonial titles, so this is an appropriately early copy). Condition is very good, with moderate wear at the extremities, and a faint stain on the rear cover and spine. The front cover bears the label, and the title leaf bears the blind-stamp, of the original bookseller -- Higginbothams of Madras and Bangalore. See Richards A242 (where this colonial edition is cited as being bound either in orange-yellow wrappers or in "blackish-blue" cloth -- but not in these blue-grey wrappers; in the Richards copy's ads, this title is "ten titles down from the top of the list," so this copy -- in effect "two from the top" -- may be earlier than the Richards copy).

Description: FIRST EDITION. 8vo.(8.1 x 5.6 inches). Illustrated with four full page mono plates by Frank Craig. Publishers original burgundy cloth boards. Gilt lettering to the spine. Front board with raised circular Ganesha device in gilt. Top edge gilt. In the rare original dustwrapper, with repeat pattern of Macmillan double M design over the whole surface and red lettering to the spine and both outer panels. Lower panel has correct publisher adverts, as listed in David Alan Richards' Bibliography of Kipling. Inner flaps with repeat Macmillan design but nothing else. ---- The cloth and gilt are bright and fresh. Some spotting to the fore edge of the pages and a few leaves affected with fairly mild foxing, mostly to the margins and away from the text. The inner hinges are cracked but holding firm and a slight lean to the spine, otherwise a very good copy of the book in a very good dustwrapper with some minor chipping to the extremities and the spine a bit darkened. The red lettering to the spine and panels of the wrapper is unfaded and bright. One small hole to the front panel. A previous owner has strengthened the reverse weak spots with archive paper, but this could be professionally removed if required. A decidedly uncommon survivor in any condition, to find the wrapper lettering unfaded is rarer still. ------ Contains the Poem 'If'. Kipling's most enduring work of verse. A poll taken by the BBC in the UK in 2005 voted it as Britain's favourite Poem, polling twice as many votes as the number 2 choice, Lord Tennyson's The Lady of Shallot. Originally written in 1895, IF was inspired by the actions of Dr. Leander Starr Jameson, a British Officer whose forces were defeated by the Boers in 1895, but who was portrayed as a victorious hero by the British press, the poem is a powerful masterclass in maintaining the British stiff upper lip. -- Richards A242.
