BARRIE, J. M.
Peter and Wendy.
First edition, first impression. With the author's signed presentation inscription to the front free endpaper, "For Mrs Galsworthy from her friend J. M. Barrie Nov. 2 1911". Galsworthy's wife was born Ada Nemesis Pearson (1866–1956). Barrie was a tangential member of Galsworthy's literary circle which included Henry James, Ford Madox Hueffer and Joseph Conrad. Inscribed copies of this book are rare – those with interesting literary associations even more so.
Octavo. Original green cloth, titles and pictorial decoration to spine and upper board gilt. In a green cloth solander case. With 12 illustrations by F. D. Bedford. Some minor spotting to the text, mild tanning to the end leaves, cloth a little speckled and just a touch rubbed, but an excellent copy.
