Toronto: George N. Morang, 1898.

Rare unauthorized Canadian edition of this collection of 13 Kipling short stories mainly written between 1893 and 1896 while Kipling was living in Vermont. Octavo, original wrappers. According to Stuart, this unauthorized Canadian edition was printed from the same plates as the American edition published by Grosset and Dunlap, and so this edition precedes both the first British and first Canadian trade edition (Stuart, 179). In very good condition. Housed in a custom quarter morocco clamshell box.

Kipling's The Day's Work includes The Bridge-Builders, The Ship that Found Herself, The Devil and the Deep Sea, The Maltese Cat, and Bread Upon The Waters, and The Brushwood Boy.
