Dobreé, Bonamy - 'Rudyard Kipling Realist & Fabulist'

First edition. Oxford University Press, London 1967.

"Professor Dobreé's book issues from a lifetime's enjoyment of Kipling, and shows a familiarity with his author which is not the result of study only, but of long aquaintance. It is elegantly constructed and the style is graceful and businesslike. The substantial quotations and clear outlines of situations make the book accessible to any reader, even if he knows little of Kipling." (from the front flap)

Book and dustwrapper are in very good condition. DW has some fading to spine, two closed tears at spine ends and a little rubbing to the edges.
