About This Item
Weston, Vermont: The Countryman Press, 1937. First edition of Van de Water's account of Kipling's feud with his brother-in-law in Dummerston, which was made very public by local newspapers. Octavo, original buckram, illustrated with drawings by Bernadine custer. One of 700 numbered copies signed by the author and illustrator on the limitation page, this is number 132. Fine in the original slipcase which is in very good condition. Rudyard Kipling wrote the bulk of his best-known works in his now historic Shingle Style house, Naulahka, in Dummerston, Vermont. Here, Frederic Van de Water, a close friend of Kipling's brother-in-law Beatty Balestier, tells the story of the legendary family feud which flared up in a public trial and ultimately drove Kipling from Vermont.
