The collection features some of Kipling's well-known poems, such as 'The Ballad of the East and West' and 'If', but also contains some of his lesser-known verse, including 'Big Steamers' and 'The Way Through the Woods'. Illustrated with eight beautiful colour plates by Leo Bates. Collated, complete.From the library of A. P. Watt & A. S. Watt of A. P. Watt and Son, literary agent of Rudyard Kipling. Bound in the publisher's cloth, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with a little bumping to the head and tail of the spine and extremities. A touch of fading to the spine. Dust wrapper is smart, with light edgewear and the odd tear. Loss to the tail of the spine. Wraps are lightly soiled, with the odd mark and a little spotting to the reverse. Sunning to the spine of the wrap. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean. Very Good Indeed.
