Details

With dust jacket (Rare)

A highly sought-after first edition of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, the beloved prequel to Peter and Wendy, penned by J.M. Barrie and brought vividly to life by the legendary illustrator Arthur Rackham. Originally part of The Little White Bird (1902), this standalone edition—published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1906—showcases one of the most iconic collaborations in early 20th-century children’s literature.

This edition features 50 exquisite tipped-in color plates by Rackham, mounted on heavy gray paper, each protected by captioned tissue guards. His ethereal depictions of fairies, London park life, and the dreamlike atmosphere of Kensington Gardens are widely regarded as some of his finest work, solidifying his reputation as a master of book illustration.
