-- "249 p. illus., plates (part col.) 26 cm."
with linked catalogue record at HathiTrust Digital Library (HDL), which states:
-- "Plates not colored are included in paging" (see below)
Price from advertisement by the publisher Chi. Tribune 1912-12-11 p13 "Holiday Feast of Good Books"
-- "Mr. Gleeson has executed a series of twelve drawings in full colors"
-- "First impression from new type. Cloth."
Advertised by a department store St. Louis Post-Dispatch 1912-11-22 p5
Digital copy at HDL lacks original cover and endpapers, shows:
-- title page, itself illustrated, credits "Pictures by Joseph M. Gleeson"; those by Kipling are nowhere credited
-- color frontispiece
-- numerous b/w illustrations, including two full-page in the first story alone
-- p[250], logo over "The Country Life Press Garden City, N. Y."
Evidently p1-249 incorporating b/w illustrations by Kipling have been retained; 12 plates display the color illustrations by Gleeson. The frontispiece illustrates the first story; otherwise one plate immediately precedes and faces the first page of each story.
