Rare First edition of Rudyard Kipling's Letters of Marque

Rare first edition of this collection of letters published without Kipling's permission and so quickly suppressed. Octavo, original publisher's decorated cloth. One of one thousand copies, many of which were destroyed at Kipling's behest. In good condition, stamp.

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.
