Description: Like many other unfortunate young people, Harvey had never in all his life received a direct order—never, at least, without long, and sometimes tearful, explanations of the advantages of obedience and the reasons for the request. Here we offer the first edition, 2nd-year print, of the classic seafaring children's adventure, Captains Courageous, by Rudyard Kipling, published by MacMillan and Company, London, in 1898. This was a particularly attractive issue, with gilt-impressed illustrated boards and spine, 22 full-page etchings, and gilted text block all the way around (to keep dust out). Minor wear to boards (please see pics.) Endpages are intact and bear a period Sunday school prize bookplate. Foxing throughout. Binding is very tight and square, text and illustrations are very bright and crisp. 245 pages, plus 2 pages of ads. Measures approximately 7.5 x 5-inches. This children's classic first will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a marvelous gift.
