Binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe (stamped in gold at the bottom of front turn-in) in blue crushed morocco with gilt fillets on covers and turn-ins, title in gilt, five raised bands with gilt outlined compartments, striped head and tail bands, a.e.g. —Cutler 93 A lush volume containing most of J.

However, Barrie's most lasting fame comes from creating PETER PAN, which is included in this volume, and had its first performance at the Duke of York Theatre in 1904. In 1911 Barrie would develop the play into a novel "Peter and Wendy...
