Illustrated dustwrapper with black coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. In his own lifetime, and, in the decades since his death Rudyard Kipling has been reviled and criticised by literary critics, lauded by the same literary critics, falling in and out of favour, but, somehow with the magic powers of his language survives.
