About This Item
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1902. A first edition, first printing published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1902. A neatly recased copy complete with a signed tipped in slip, 'Yours Sincerely/J M Barrie' to the front endpaper. Some spotting to the pastedowns and endpapers. Some wear to the corners and edges. First appearance of Peter Pan.
Synopsis
The Little White Bird is a series of short episodes, narratives and day-to-day accounts of J M Barrie's life in London. The tone oscillates from whimsical to social comedy to darkly aggressive. Part of the book's continuing popularity was due to the couple of softer chapters telling the story of Peter Pan, later to become the hero of Barrie's most famous work.
