Peter Pan and Wendy by J.M. Barrie
Hodder & Stoughton, 1921.
First edition with illustrations by Mabel Lucie Attwell. 4to. Blue cloth with gilt titles on spine and upper cover. Both spine and upper cover have decorations in blue, green and gilt. The 12 colour plates are mounted onto art paper with captions printed below, the image entitled "I daresay it will hurt a little" is made even more charming by being circular. In addition to the colour plates there are numerous line drawings in the text. A very good copy, spine lightly sunned and short closed edge tears to the frontis, and to the foot of two pages. Overall an attractive copy of a charming book.
The book has been reprinted in various formats with Attwell's illustrations, but none are as delightful as the first edition of this wonderful gift book.
