M. Barrie’s most famous and sought after work.It first appeared in the form of a 1904 play and a 1911 novel. Both versions tell the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous yet innocent little boy who can fly, and has many adventures on the island of Neverland that is inhabited by mermaids, fairies, Native Americans and pirates. Peter has many stories involving Wendy Darling and her two brothers, his fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the Pirate Captain Hook. The play and novel were inspired by Barrie’s friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family.Scarce 8vo (vii) 267pp First Edition [1911]
