What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding
The first U.S edition.
In the publisher's original cloth.
Illustrated with a monochrome frontispiece and nine monochrome plates. Collated complete.
This work was written by the Nobel Prize winning author, Rudyard Kipling, with this being one of his best known works. The story provides a picture of India and it's culture, religions and people, following an orphan named Kim. This novel famously popularised the phrase 'The Great Game', referring to the rivalry between the British and Russian empires during the 19th century, which acts as a backdrop for this popular novel.
From the library of A. P. Watt & A. S. Watt of A. P. Watt and Son, literary agent of Rudyard Kipling.
Condition

Externally smart with slight fading to the spine, slight minor marks to the boards, bumping to the extremities resulting in very minimal loss to the cloth and very small closed tears to the head and tail of the spine, and slight rubbing to the joints and extremities.

Very Good
