About This Item
Great Britain: Macmillan & Co., 1923. No D/J. The book is tight and clean (some shelf wear and bumping, fading to cover, and v/light foxing on some pages.) Land and Sea Tales brings together a collection of Kipling's strikingly honest short stories. As with many of his other works, these tales take on the themes of bravery and honour in the face of adversity, and more often than not in the face of war - perhaps Kipling's greatest preoccupation! With an international cast of characters set in a host of exotic and dangerous locations, this rich selection, originally written for the scout and guide groups that Kipling was so dedicated to, now some seventy years on, these tales are eminently suitable for readers of all ages. You will receive the book seen in the image.. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Thus. Decorative Cloth. Fair to Good./No D/J.
