In a striking publisher's binding of dark blue cloth decorated on the spine and upper board with a wraparound seascape design, showing a ship upon the sea below layers of clouds, with the title and author's name in bright gilt. This is a near-fine copy, being clean and crisp overall, but skewed at spine, and with a touch of shelfwear to cloth. This is a pirated edition containing thirty stories, letters, and articles, and one poem, of which twenty-two of the stories and the poem had previously appeared in Turn- overs. The individual pieces were written during Kipling's journey in 1889 from India to England and were first printed in periodicals (The Civil & Military Gazette, The Week's News, and The Pioneer) between 1888- 90. To combat the sale of this unauthorized edition, Kipling instructed Doubleday, Page & Co. to issue a volume containing the same material at a reduced price.
