Description: Large hardcover. Purple cloth over boards. Elaborate decoration and gold stamping on the front cover and spine -- don't you just love Hugh Thomson? Unfortunately this well-loved volume does have some shelf wear and bumping to corners, but the only thing that's really important for us to note is a tear in the cloth at the bottom of the front joint. Ask for pictures, if you'd like. Heavy foxing to endpapers -- not much of a problem anywhere else. No date on title page. Copyright page dated 1901. 197 pages. Color frontispiece and color illustrations throughout. A very good copy overall. This volume comes from a small, careful collection of decorative and signed bindings. Please inquire to see the full list.

He was born and educated in Scotland and then moved to London, where he wrote several successful novels and plays. There he met the Llewelyn Davies boys, who inspired him to write about a baby boy who has magical adventures in Kensington Gardens (first included in Barrie's 1902 adult novel The Little White Bird), then to write Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a 1904 West End "fairy play" about an ageless boy and an ordinary girl named Wendy who have adventures in the fantasy setting of Neverland.
