A wonderful Ukrainian edition of Rikki Tikki Tavi, Kipling's short story taken from the Jungle Book about a brave mongoose. Translated by Yura Shkrumeliak, a noted Ukrainian poet writer and journalist who lived in Lviv and was sentenced to ten years imprisonment by the Soviets after WWII because of his Ukrainian nationalist activities (he'd also fought in the Ukrainian Sich riflemen regiment in WWi). He served his sentence in the Pechora concentration camp in Western Ukraine.

Petro Andrusiv studied at the Warsaw Academy of Arts, where he was a co-organiser of the artistic group Spokii (1927–39). He created large compositions based on Ukrainian Princely era and Cossack period history, and illustrations for children's books and historical publications.

First edition, 16mo (16.8 x 12 cm); text in Ukrainian, translated from the English by Yura Shkrumeliak, black and white illustrations in the text throughout; original printed wrappers designed by Petro Andrusiv, a fine copy.
