About This Item
Gloucester, MA: Peter Smith, 1972. Reprint Edition . Hardcover. VG+. Reprint edition, first published in The Anchor Books edition in 1963. 8vo, salmon cloth, 339 pages. VERY GOOD+ / no jacket: light rubbing to corners, spine lightly sunned, otherwise appears unread. These stories, selected by Randall Jarrell with an introduction, include 14 of the short works that Kipling, most noted for his works set in India, wrote about the English in England. Included is his famous story "The Janeites" about a group of war-weary men who come to admire the works of Jane Austen... indeed it is this story that gave the real Janeites their name (though it was George Sainstbury who first coined the term, though he spelled it "Janites").
