Many...I just love Kipling this is a great old book. Many of Rudyard Kipling's older books have a swastika printed on their covers, which has led to many claiming that he is racist. The truth is that the swastika is an Indian sign of good luck, often used by Hindu traders on their account books; when the Nazis started to gain recognition he commanded the engraver to remove it from the printing block. (Note that the arms of the Nazi swastika bend to the right, not to the left as in Kipling's which is more typical of the swastika used by Buddhists.)<br />Kipling was Born in India.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625781235332720288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061083430357183166.post-92079504825869608882009-06-04T09:02:18.935-05:002009-06-04T09:02:18.935-05:00I, too, would have been attracted to this book.

Before then the swastika was a neutral, ancient symbol, and then of course as we know, it came to represent hate. Since much of Kipling's work was done pre-WWI, this could easily be from the 1920s or earlier.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582583925813368098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061083430357183166.post-45386088791010095572009-06-03T23:56:14.301-05:002009-06-03T23:56:14.301-05:00I know nothing of old books, but I probably would ...I know nothing of old books, but I probably would have picked that one up too.
