Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
Few illustrated books capture the magic of childhood quite like Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. Featuring the enchanting artwork of Arthur Rackham, one of the foremost illustrators of the Golden Age of Illustration, this early 1916 Charles Scribner's Sons edition remains a beautiful and highly displayable example of one of J. M. Barrie's most beloved works.
Bound in the publisher's original olive-green cloth with bright gilt lettering and an attractive mounted color illustration to the front cover, this volume retains the timeless charm that has made Rackham's interpretations of Peter Pan enduring favorites among readers and collectors alike. Inside are Barrie's whimsical tales set within London's Kensington Gardens, accompanied by Rackham's imaginative illustrations and decorative black-and-white drawings throughout.
This copy is offered as an early 1916 Scribner edition and presents very well on the shelf, making it an appealing addition to a vintage children's literature collection or an excellent gift for admirers of classic illustrated books.
Please Note: This copy is incomplete, lacking three of the original full-page Arthur Rackham color illustrations (those corresponding to pages 50, 98, and 104). All remaining text is present, and the book remains a handsome reading and display copy. The missing illustrations have been reflected in the price.
