Cover of the first edition

• ... that Rudyard Kipling's first novel, The Light That Failed (cover pictured), was published in at least four different versions over a period of two years? Source: Richards, David Alan. "THE LIGHT THAT FAILED': The Magazine Editions". kiplingsociety.co.uk. Retrieved 18 February 2017.

• Comment: This is my 2nd DYK nomination. I've expanded the novel 5x times its previous size (initially created in my userspace sandbox on 18 February 2017). We can go with ALT1 if the image is not up to the mark.

5x expanded by Ciridae (talk). Self-nominated at 17:15, 22 February 2017 (UTC).

16px Interesting book, on good sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Don't you think that a hook about reception would be more attractive than about publishing? - Article: in an article about literature, "The story begins with Dick and Maisie as orphan children" doesn't win my praise ;) - Do we know if they are 10 or 15 then? It would make a difference. - We have "Art" and Art, why not simply art? - I don't think "masculinity" etc need a link. - Please get multiple refs for one fact in ascending order. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:47, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
