KIPLING Rudyard
The Brushwood Boy
Illustrated with colour plates by F H Townsend.
A story of the early life of an English Army officer, from his early childhood and schooldays, to his return from India at the end of his first tour of duty there. Interwoven is an account of his dreams, in which a young girl features: he has met her only once, but she has penetrated his mind; and is his constant companion and grows up as he does. The dreams have a consistent theme and imaginary countryside. On his return home, he meets this same girl; who does not realise that she has featured in his dreams for some 21 years – nor does he realise that she, too, has dreamed about him, and the same imaginary countryside, for the same period of time. He reveals himself to her; she realises that he is, indeed, her ‘Brushwood Boy’ (from the pile of brushwood which is the starting point for their dreams) – and the story ends there. Pages printed on the recto side only.
G+ hardback. Gilt decorated cloth has some rubbing wear and soiling. Some handling soiling to pages.
