Kipling Rudyard Soldiers Three

Kipling, R. Soldiers Three and Other Stories. [ A single volume - Volume II - from The Sussex Edition of the Complete Works in Prose and Verse of Rudyard Kipling ]. Macmillan and Co. Ltd, London, Sussex Edition, 1937.
From the limited edition of 525 sets of which 500 were for sale. The Sussex Edition is the finest edition of Kipling's works, sumptuously produced and also containing his final thoughts on the text, having been revised by Kipling in his last years. Kipling died in 1936 and the edition was published posthumously. Complete sets of the 35 volumes are rare and desirable : only 525 sets were produced and many of these were destroyed when the publisher's warehouse was bombed in 1941. Single volumes such as that offered here are in practice still harder to find : we have a handful only of such volumes. This volume collects together the contents of three of Kipling's "Railway Library" volumes first published at the start of his career in India : Soldiers Three, the first collection of the adventures of Mulvaney, Learoyd and Ortheris (1888); The Story of the Gadsbys (1888) and In Black and White (1889).

Full russet Niger morocco, handmade paper, gilt top, other edges untrimmed as issued, royal 8vo, viii, [373], [2] pp. Fine.
