About this Item

Rare early separate edition of Kipling's second collection of short stories. Octavo, original wrappers. The Marco-Botsaris Series No. 10. In very good condition. The first publication of Soldiers Three was as No 1 of A.H. Wheeler & Co.â s Indian Railway Library, a slim volume of 97 pages printed at the â Pioneerâ Press, Allahabad in 1888 called Soldiers Three: a collection of stories setting forth certain passages in the lives and adventures of Privates Terence Mulvaney, Stanley Ortheris and John Learoyd, done into type and edited by Rudyard Kipling. In 1899, it became part of the book Soldiers Three and Other Stories, known to most people by the simpler title Soldiers Three. It is this collection whose contents are listed here. To the original Soldiers Three were added nos 2 and 3 of the Indian Railway Library, The Story of the Gadsbys, which is written in dramatic form, and In Black and White, looking more at the native Indians than the British. Both of these were also published in 1888.
