Kipling pens his reading guidelines
A first edition pair of Kipling’s Jungle Books containing a letter from the author about children’s reading habits – £7000 at Sotheby’s.
Almost exactly contemporary, the two works featured here came from the library of Christian Heuer and were offered as part of a July 1-9 summer sale at Sotheby’s (25/20/13.9% buyer’s premium). Both are distinguished by the observations of their authors.
