Something I hadn't known before today

[ffutures]

Not sure why I never knew this - there was an illustrated publication of Kipling's As Easy As A.B.C., the sequel to With the Night Mail, in the London Magazine of March and April 1912.

If anyone happens to come across this, I would really love to get hold of a copy!

Nobody's scanned it yet, eh?

This is kind of cool: The Bookman, December 1911, Vol. XLI, No. 243, page 128.

Rudyard Kipling has written a new story — a romance of the world as science and sanitation will have developed it in another century or so. He is calling it "As Easy as ABC," and it is to make its first appearance in the London Magazine next March.

Bleiler seems to think it appeared in Weekly Magazine for 25 February and 12 March 1912.

It apparently did but wasn't illustrated.

On a related note, there were some nice scans of the illustrations and cover binding of the 1909 Doubleday edition of "With the Night Mail" posted on Thom Buchanan's Pictorial Arts blog here http://mydelineatedlife.blogspot.com/2011/05/story-of-2000-ad.html

Yes, I have the same edition - the link above for WtNM includes them, plus illos from the 1906 magazine publication.
