He wrote to Conland [Dr. James Conland, the dedicatee], after the book had begun to appear serially, 'I tell you that tale will be a snorter'" (Gidmark, p. 71).The British edition was preceded by the American edition by one month. The work was originally serialized in Pearson's Magazine between 1896 and 1897. It was written while the newlywed Kipling was living in Vermont.
