Synopsis
Originally all the tame animals were wild, but especially the Cat: he walked by himself and all places were alike to him. The Man was wild too until he met the Woman, who chose a Cave for them to live in, lit a fire in it and hung a horsehide over the opening. She cooked a meal of wild ingredients. Le Chien était sauvage, et le Cheval était sauvage, et la Vache était sauvage, et le Cochon était sauvage — et ils se promenaient par les Chemins Mouillés du Bois Sauvage, tous sauvages et solitairement. Mais le plus sauvage de tous était le Chat. Il se promenait seul et tous lieux se valaient pour lui. Naturellement, l’Homme était sauvage aussi. Il était sauvage que c’en était affreux. Il ne commença à s’apprivoiser que du jour où il rencontra la Femme, et elle lui dit qu’elle n’aimait pas la sauvagerie de ses manières. Давным-давно, когда собака была дикая, лошадь была дикая, корова была дикая, овца была дикая, свинья была дикая, и эти дикие животные бродили по сырому дикому лесу. Но самым диким из них был кот. Он гулял один, где ему вздумается, и место для него не имело значения. Разумеется, и человек тоже был диким, совсем диким. Он даже не пытался усовершенствоваться, пока не встретил женщину, которая ему сказала, что ей вовсе не нравится такая дикая жизнь.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Neat contemporary gift inscription in ink on the front free endpaper reading "Ross from Aunty Jen". A few small yellow marks on the first page (see photo); otherwise, the interior is clean and unmarked, with no foxing, tears, or significant wear. One of the most enduring and beloved tales from Kipling's Just So Stories (originally published 1902). In the earliest days of the world, when all the animals were still wild, the Woman makes a cave into a home and begins to tame the Dog, the Horse, and the Cow. The Cat, however, remains proudly independent. He walks by himself and all places are alike to him. Through a series of clever bargains with the Woman he earns the right to sit by the fire, drink warm milk, and be near the baby?yet he never fully surrenders his freedom. On moonlit nights he still slips out into the Wet Wild Woods, waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone. This attractive 1982 Macmillan edition presents the complete story as a standalone picture book, newly illustrated in full colour by William Stobbs. The illustrations are rich, decorative, and full of character, perfectly complementing Kipling's rhythmic, memorable prose. Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, on 30 December 1865, the son of the artist and teacher John Lockwood Kipling. After schooling in England he returned to India and worked as a journalist before establishing himself as one of the most popular and influential writers of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. He is best known for The Jungle Book (1894-95), the novel Kim (1901), the Just So Stories (1902), and poems such as "If?", "Gunga Din", and "Mandalay". In 1907 he became the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, cited for his "power of observation, originality of imagination, virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration". The Just So Stories began as bedtime tales told to his daughter Josephine ("Effie"). After her early death he completed and published the collection. Kipling died in London in 1936 and is buried in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey. William Stobbs (1914-2000) William Stobbs was a British author, illustrator, and art educator. Born in South Shields, he trained at the Durham School of Art and later worked as a draughtsman at Rolls-Royce during the Second World War, contributing to the development of the Merlin engine. After the war he became Head of the Design Department at the London School of Printing and Graphic Arts, then Principal of Maidstone College of Art (1958-1979). A prolific illustrator of more than 100 children's books, Stobbs was especially noted for his strong line work, rich colour, and narrative clarity. In 1959 he was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal (for outstanding British children's book illustration) for two titles: Kashtanka (after Anton Chekhov) and A Bundle of Ballads (compiled by Ruth Manning-Sanders). He also illustrated Ronald Welch's Knight Crusader, which won the Carnegie Medal. His work on this 1982 edition of The Cat that Walked by Himself is characteristic of his later colour picture-book style?lively, decorative, and full of personality. This volume forms part of Macmillan's early-1980s series of individual Just So Stories newly illustrated by contemporary artists. A handsome, clean example of this attractive Stobbs-illustrated edition of one of Kipling's finest and most frequently reprinted stories. Seller Inventory # ABE-1791740605133
