Grey Fairy And Titania's Palace
By Neville Wilkinson
With Twenty Five Illustrations
Published by Humphrey Milford: London 1922 1st Edition
1st Edition In Original Cloth Bindings - Includes All 25 Illustrations

" Peter Pan In Kensington Gardens represents one of the most enchanting interpretations of J.M. Barrie's beloved Peter Pan mythology, retold here for younger readers by May Byron and beautifully illustrated by the legendary Arthur Rackham. Originally derived from Barrie's earlier The Little White Bird, the story explores Peter Pan's magical life among the birds, fairies and hidden corners of Kensington Gardens before the adventures of Neverland. This 1937 First Edition Second Reprint from Hodder & Stoughton retains the timeless charm of Barrie's fantasy world while presenting it in an accessible format for children, enhanced throughout by Rackham's atmospheric and instantly recognisable artwork.

Arthur Rackham's illustrations are among the most celebrated ever produced for the Peter Pan stories, combining delicate line work with dreamlike colour plates that perfectly capture the mysterious beauty of Kensington Gardens and its fairy inhabitants. This example retains all five Rackham colour plates including the striking frontispiece, making it a highly desirable illustrated edition for collectors. The softly coloured cloth binding with mounted illustration further enhances the book's visual appeal and reflects the elegant production standards associated with Hodder & Stoughton's illustrated gift books of the early twentieth century.

Adding further historical interest is the contemporary inscription shown in the photographs, reading "From Major E. Ford" and dated May 1942, during the height of the Second World War. Such wartime ownership inscriptions provide a tangible connection to the book's past and offer a poignant glimpse into its life during a significant moment in history. Combining the enduring popularity of J.M. Barrie, the celebrated illustrations of Arthur Rackham and this evocative soldiers-era provenance, this is a charming and collectible example of one of the classic illustrated children's books of the twentieth century."
