Collected Dog Stories
By Rudyard Kipling
Illustrated by G.L. Stampa
Published by MacMillan And Co Limited: London 1934 1st Edition
Scarce Copy In Leather Binding

" Collected Dog Stories brings together Rudyard Kipling's most affecting and memorable canine tales, unified by his profound understanding of loyalty, duty, courage, and the often unspoken bond between humans and dogs. Written across different phases of his career, these stories range from the deeply moving and philosophical to the quietly humorous, capturing dogs not as sentimental caricatures but as thinking, feeling beings shaped by instinct, training, and love. Pieces such as "The Power of the Dog", "Garm - A Hostage", and "The Dog Hervey" stand among Kipling's most emotionally resonant work, exploring loss, devotion, and moral responsibility with restraint and clarity.

This 1934 first edition, published by Macmillan & Co., London, is illustrated throughout by G. L. Stampa, whose finely observed drawings complement Kipling's text with sensitivity and realism, avoiding excess sentiment while reinforcing the emotional gravity of the stories. The volume represents the first time these dog-themed works were gathered together in a single, coherent collection, making it an important point in Kipling's bibliographical history. The illustrations are integral rather than decorative, enhancing the reading experience and reflecting the interwar period's appreciation for illustrated literary editions.

Offered here in a scarce leather-bound copy, this edition elevates the book beyond its trade issue, giving it the presence and durability associated with presentation or library bindings of the period. The combination of first-edition status, quality leather binding, and complete illustrated content makes this a particularly desirable example of Kipling's work. This book would appeal especially to collectors of Rudyard Kipling, admirers of classic illustrated literature, dog lovers, and those drawn to early twentieth-century literary craftsmanship. "
