Rudyard Kipling — Stalky and Co. And Debits and Credits

London , Macmillan and Co. 1899-1926. First edition. Cloth. A two volume set of Rudyard Kipling first editions. Comprising of Stalky and Co. as well as Debits and Credits, the works here show the breadth of Kipling's abilities, with the former book a novel and the latter a collection of short stories, poems and scenes for a play. Both volumes are decorated with Kipling's signature elephant to the boards, a nod to his time in, and love for, India, something also related to in the Hindu symbols found to the endpages. Stalky and Co. features the bookplate of one G.W. Bell. In decorative cloth binding with gilt detailing. Externally quite smart, there is some wear to the boards, extremities and joints, as well as some sunning to spines. The hinge of Stalky and Co. is tender. Internally, the pages are generally firmly bound, although there is some light strain in places, and are bright and clean throughout, aside from the odd instance of spotting throughout.
