Tommy and Grizel

By James M. Barrie

Published by Charles Scribner's Sons: New York 1900

"Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860 - 1937) was a Scottish novelist and playwright, best remembered as the creator of Peter Pan. 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."

Very minor fading and wear to cover. There is a tiny and feint owner stamp on the front blank endpaper as shown, otherwise an unmarked copy. Very good to near fine condition overall with no foxing and crisp, clean and bright pages. A lovely copy. Please study photos to understand condition. Happy to provide more photos on request.
