The Works of Rudyard Kipling is an impressive vintage one-volume collection bringing together a substantial selection of writings by one of the best-known English-language authors of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Published in New York by Walter J. Black Co., this substantial hardcover presents what the title page describes as “Twelve Volumes in One,” making it an attractive collected edition for readers and collectors of classic literature.
Rudyard Kipling was a remarkably versatile writer whose output encompassed novels, short stories, poetry, adventure writing and tales inspired by British India and the wider British Empire. His distinctive storytelling, memorable characters and vivid depictions of place made him one of the most widely read writers of his generation. The Works of Rudyard Kipling provides an accessible way of exploring a broad cross-section of his literary output within a single substantial volume.
The Works of Rudyard Kipling comprises approximately 1003 pages and is bound in textured burgundy-red boards with gilt lettering and decoration to the spine. The substantial format and period binding give the volume considerable shelf presence, making it equally suitable as a reading copy, decorative vintage book or addition to a collection of Kipling and classic English literature.
No publication date is printed in the copy. Comparable Walter J. Black editions of this one-volume Kipling collection are recorded as dating from around 1928, although without a printed date in this particular copy of The Works of Rudyard Kipling it is best catalogued simply as undated, circa late 1920s rather than assigning it a definite year.
Condition – Very Good
