Printing Details

Undated [1929]. Assumed first edition. Hardback, cloth spine with illustrated boards. Thick card contents with rounded edges. 22 × 17.5cm, unpaginated.

This is a collection of images from the Peter Pan story by J M Barrie, with twenty four pictures mounted on thick card, and each beginning with a letter of the alphabet (for example, "F for the Flight, the remarkable Flight / when the children and Peter went off through the night." One or two of the pictures have Flora White's printed name to, but most don't so I am assuming they are all by her. The book was printed without title page or printing details (as was the only other copy of this I could find, going through auction in 2021).

Condition

Poor. The cloth spine is wearing off, and the covers are heavily worn. The pages have finger marking and surface tanning throughout and two of them have scratches made by a previous owner (quite small, but annoying—that's the marks...), but most of the images are in good order and very decorative.
