About This Item
London: Macmillan and Co., Limited, 1932. First edition of this fine collection of fourteen short stories. Octavo, original publisher's cloth with central gilt elephant emblem to the front panel. Near fine in the original dust jacket which is in very good condition. English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist Rudyard Kipling's major works include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901) and many short stories and poems. Kipling was born in India, which inspired much of his work and his innovative stories for children have become timeless classics. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the British Empire, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1907. Limits and Renewals contains fourteen stories, three of which appear here for the first time: "The Tie," "Aunt Ellen," and "Uncovenanted Mercies," each with introductory, and sometimes supplemental verses. These include eighteen poems which are here published for the first time.
