KID (JOHN), bookseller in London, 1591-2. This bookseller was one of Richard Jugge's { JUGGE, Richard ( - 1577) ‹ LBT 07912 › } apprentices and was made a freeman of the Company of Stationers by Joan Jugge { JUGGE, Joan ( - 1588) ‹ LBT 03176 › } on February 18th, 1583/4 [Arber, ii. 691). His first book entry occurs on May 12th, 1591 [Arber, ii. 582). John Kid dealt in ballads and popular literature. He was dead before March 5th, 1592/3, when a sum of money was lent to his widow { KYDD, (Unknown) ‹ LBT 03174 › } by the Company [Arber, i. 562, 565). His address has not been found. Another John Kid { KYDD, John ‹ LBT 10293 › }, perhaps son of the above, was admitted to the freedom of the Company on July 4th, 1612 [Arber, iii. 683].
