"Written just over a century ago, Peter Pan has become one of the most beloved and timeless tales. Since he appeared, the boy who didn't want to grow up has ceaselessly spread his magical wings over generations of readers. . .the author wrote a short novel, Peter Pan, in Kensington Gardens and, in 1911, a novel: Peter Pan and Wendy. This book reproduces this novel's previously unpublished 282-page manuscript. In a version restored by our team of specialised graphic designers, read the true story of Peter Pan. Barrie's tight writing reveals several deletions and many textual variations: the boy with magical powers is even cheekier than in the published book. In this book, 21 full-page illustrations from a rare edition published in 1930 feature the adventures of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and the Darling children (Wendy, John and George). They are by the talented Gwynedd Hudson, whose childhood illustrations are particularly prized by bibliophiles" (adapted from publisher blurb). "The manuscript of Peter and Wendy, one of the jewels of the Berg Collection in the New York Public Library, is reproduced here for the first time. Peter's adventures in Neverland, described in Barrie's small neat handwriting, are brought to life by the evocative colour plates with which the artist Gwynedd Hudson decorated one of the last editions to be published in Barrie's lifetime. Bursting into the lives of millions of young readers in a whirlwind of fairy-dust, James Barrie's legacy to children was more than just a literary one; it also turned out to be profoundly humanitarian. Despite being unable to fly like Peter, he first spread his wings metaphorically as a guardian angel to the Llewelyn children, orphaned by the untimely death of Arthur in 1907 and Sylvia in 1910, and provided for them financially" (adapted from a review on lithub.com). This item is number 972 in a limited edition of 1000 (see image 3). An example of a coloured illustration can be seen on image 4, and an example of a text page on image 5. In 'as new' condition; appears unread. Slipcase also is 'as new' (see image 2).
