This text of this edition is taken from the 1937 ‘Sussex’ edition, which contained the last corrections and revisions to the text that Kipling made before his death in 1936.
Hyperlinks have been added to and from a glossary page containing all the words Kipling defined, and also many of the other foreign or unusual words to be found in the text.
This edition has typographical quotes and dashes, italic text correctly used for emphasis and good formatting of poetry, chapter headings and paragraphs.
This edition includes illustrations by J. Lockwood Kipling, Rudyard Kipling’s father. The illustrations were updated to higher resolution (768x1024) versions in April 2013.
