Published in 1904 by Doubleday, Page & Company, this volume includes several notable Kipling works including "The Captive," "The Bonds of Discipline," "A Sahib's War," and the beloved science-fiction classic "As Easy as A.B.C."—one of the earliest futuristic stories about airship travel and global governance. The original green cloth binding features gilt titling and a striking cover illustration of a sailing vessel, emblematic of the maritime themes of trade, exploration, and global movement that run throughout the collection. Illustrated throughout. CONDITION Good antique condition. Original publisher's cloth binding with gilt lettering and ship illustration intact. Expected edge wear and rubbing at corners and spine ends consistent with age. Binding remains solid. Interior pages clean and readable with light age toning.
