Hello there, I posted my autobio recently, and in it I mentioned a book
given to me which used to belong to my grandmother.
I have a question about the book, which I hope someone can help me with.
The book is, Rudyard Kipling's verse. Inclusive edition 1885-1926. It is
printed by Hodder and Stoughton and is the first impression 1927 version.
The thing that jumped out at me the first time I laid eyes on the book was
the fact that it has a swastika (like in Nazi Germany) on the cover, the
spine, and also on one of the inside front pages.
At this time, was the swastika an innocent symbol for something else?
perhaps a company logo for Hodder and Stoughton maybe?
Can anyone help please? It is very intriguing.
