Lockwood Kipling and W. H. DrakeThis early edition of "The Two Jungle Books" features a swastika & a picture of an elephant with a lotus flower on thecover, reflecting the influence of Indian culture in Kipling's work. It fueled a rumor that Kipling may have been a Nazi sympathizer. In reality, the use of the swastika was based on the Indian sun symbol which means good luck & well-being. Kipling's use of these in the late 1800's & early 1900's had nothing to do with WWII & Germany! PLEASE VIEW ALL PICTURES FOR CONDITION OF THIS BOOK!
