"All of these twelve stories but one ('How the alphabet was made') had appeared in American and/or English periodicals between 1897 and 1902 ... but none of the accompanying (untitled) verses was published before appearing in this book."--Cf. Richards.

"The 22 full-page black and white plates (with one, the 'inciting map of the Turbid Amazon' [p. 105] done in red and black) and the chapter introductory initials, as well as the cover design ... are all by Kipling, and this is his only self-illustrated book."--Cf. Richards.
