About This Item
One of 250 copies (#246) for private distribution. A collection of six previously uncollected Kai Lung stories originally published in the British humor magazine Punch in the 1940s, with uncredited illustrations, many signed E. H. S. in a hand very similar to the writing of Ernest H. Shepard, the illustrator of Winnie the Pooh and The Wind in the Willows. Stylistically, they appear similar to Shepard's other work. Nobody else seems to have credited these to him, so I will not guarantee it; but Shepard collectors should check out this book: the signature initials are in the lower left corner of the photos with this listing. This is a clean, tight copy with one very small tear on the rear cover of the dustjacket; about as nice as one could want. A very interesting example of cultural appropriation.
