What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

The first edition of this work.

Kipling collaborated on this work with his future brother-in-law, Charles Wolcott Balestier, whose sister was Caroline Starr Balestier, Kipling's wife.

The novel follows a young American woman who moves to India to help the condition of the women that live there.

Kipling and Balestier's novel was originally serialised in The Century Magazine, from November 1891 to July 1892. It was not well-received. 

With eight pages of advertisements to the rear.
