Barrie, J. M.

Peter and Wendy

Hard Cover, London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1911. First Edition. Very Good.

First edition. 11 plates by F.D.Bedford. Original green gilt-pictorial cloth. Near fine with very slight rubbing to cloth edges, minor spotting to endpapers, preliminaries and page extremities. Original gilt decorated jacket, spine lightly toned with fading to gilt, and a few small chips and wear to the spine ends. J. M. Barrie’s classic children’s book, extended and developed in response to the success of both his 1906 book Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (illustrated by Arthur Rackham) and the play Peter Pan that ran from 1904; this edition features the first inclusion of Peter’s visit to Wendy Darling when she has grown up and married. Housed in an attractive custom clamshell case. Very scarce in the fragile jacket and especially in this condition.
