Dear Fred,

I have a note of a pointer to Catherine Madsen's article on the mailbase in
May last year, when I intended to reply with a link to an illustrated
Yiddish edition of* Rikki-tikki-tavi *from Ukraine, dating from 1924, and
available from an American book-seller at about 200 dollars a page. Your
message gives me a second opportunity.

It is still available, if you have $5000 to hand...

https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=kipling&tn=rare%20yiddish%20riki-tiki-yavi%20ill&cm_sp=mbc-_-ats-_-all

This does serve to emphasise why I have been building our collection of
illustrated editions in other languages. Kipling's work has attracted some
important artists.

Best regards,

John
