Just So Stories

Newly illustrated edition (12 new color plates) Cover from Project Gutenberg #32488 transcription LCCN 12-24463 -- "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.
