“I always prefer to believe the best of everybody; it saves so much trouble”: The Bombay Edition of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories

The Bombay Edition of Kipling’s classic collection of stories. Royal octavo, bound in three quarters morocco over cloth covered boards by Morrell with gilt titles and ruling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, gilt ruling to the front and rear panels, top edge gilt, marbled endpapers, illustrated with 22 plates by Kipling himself. In fine condition.

Just So Stories has “achieved nursery immortality because a genius has married two of the most tried and trusted favorite media—the fable and the fairy-story” (Muir, 107). “Kipling’s own witty black-and-white drawings… together with their extensive and ridiculous captions, are one of the chief delights of the book” (Carpenter & Prichard, 285).
