1912 Collected verse of Rudyard Kipling

Description

Limited Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed

Five hundred copies of this edition de luxe were produced. This is out of series, with the handwritten notice 'Mr. A. S. Watt's specially bound copy' to the limitation leaf. Unusually, however, this volume is bound in the quarter cloth of the trade edition, rather than the vellum typical of the edition de luxe.

Signed by the publisher - Hodder and Stoughton - and printer - T. Constable - to the limitation leaf.

A specially bound copy, bound for Kipling's own literary agent. A. S. Watt was the son of A. P. Watt, who is generally regarded as the first literary agent.

An impressively large collection of verses from the novelist, short-story writer, poet, and journalist best remembered for the Jungle Book duology, and his 'Just So Stories'.

From the library of A. P. Watt & A. S. Watt of A. P. Watt and Son.
