Barrie's tale of Peter Pan s boyhood adventures, the foundation of most future adaptations, issued simultaneously with the first English edition.

Peter and Wendy is based on Barrie s subsequent play featuring Peter Pan as a boy, a major event on the London stage, introducing the iconic characters of Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, and Wendy Darling to the Peter Pan legend: "Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end." Original olive pictorial cloth stamped in gilt. Pictorial title page, and eleven halftone plates throughout text. 267 pages.
