Description: The Burwash edition, number 892 of 1,010 copies signed by the author on the limitation leaf in volume I, as issued; the final and definitive text of Kipling's works. In the final years of his life, Kipling undertook a complete revision of his works. These definitive revised texts were published, with different arrangement of materials, as the Sussex edition in Britain and the Burwash edition in the US. Both sets were posthumously published, using sheets signed by Kipling before his death in 1936. 28 volumes, octavo. Attractively bound in recent burgundy half morocco, spines lettered in gilt with centre tools, raised bands, burgundy cloth sides with gilt vignettes, original endpapers with Kipling's monogram, top edges gilt, others untrimmed. Illustrated frontispieces. Original coated endpapers a little rubbed, the occasional minor blemish, an excellent set.
