Description:
This is a first edition of The Collected Rudyard Kipling, Illustrated, published by Avenel in 1982. It is 1000 pages, and includes his best-known works: Captains Courageous, Kim, The Jungle Books, Just So Stories for Little Children, Puck of Pook's Hill, Stalky & Co., and Plain Tales from the Hills. It then adds 11 short stories. See photo of that list.It doesn't say who the illustrators are but Kipling did a lot of his own illustrations, so I assume that some of the images are his. There are some photos too.This book does not appear to have been read.The paper has darkened at the edges. Other than that, and a tiny bit of shelfwear to the back of the dust jacket, it's in absolutely mint condition.
