About this Item
Description:
Limited edition of 66 numbered copies. Thin gray boards, black cover-title, 8vo, 20 cm, 16 leaves on handmade paper. A scarce unauthorized first separate edition, the story having first appeared in St. Nicholas Magazine for January 1893. The publisher has never been identified but was also responsinble for a similar unauthorized printing in the same year of 'Collah-Wallah and the Poison Stick'. Richards A357. John McGivering summarized the content for the Kipling Society website as follows: "This is an amusing little trifle that might well entertain adults as well as the children for whom it was intended, being a fairy-tale with echoes of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" from The Arabian Nights, with a message indicating that the simplest way of doing something is probably the best." Fine copy in rubbed quarter-morocco slipcase with gilt spine-title and cloth chemise. Seller Inventory # ABE-51299
