The Little White Bird or Adventures in Kensington Gardens

J. M. Barrie — The Little White Bird or Adventures in Kensington Gardens (1902) | Early Edition | First Appearance of Peter Pan A beautiful and highly collectible early edition of J. M. Barrie’s The Little White Bird; or Adventures in Kensington Gardens, published by Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York, in 1902. This landmark work contains the earliest appearance of Peter Pan in book form — years before Peter and Wendy and prior to Barrie’s famous 1904 stage play. An essential title for collectors of classic fantasy, children’s literature, and Edwardian fiction. Bound in the original dark green cloth with striking gilt decoration and lettering to the front board and spine. The spine gilt remains remarkably bright and vibrant, an increasingly uncommon feature for surviving copies of this title. A handsome and increasingly sought-after Barrie collectible. “Published November 1902”
