About This Item
LONDON: Hodder and Stoughton, 1921. 1st Edition ONLY PRINTING. Hardcover. Near Fine/No Jacket, as Issued. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. ATTWELL, MABEL LUCIE. TRULY RARE DELUXE FIRST & ONLY PRINTING!! FIRST BRITISH PRINTING, HODDER & STOUGHTON, FINE CONDITION!! EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE ORIGINAL 1921 "PETER PAN & WENDY" Illustrated by MABEL LUCY ATTWELL with 12 BEAUTIFUL FULL COLOR (COLOUR) HINGED PLATES. THIS IS THE DELUXE ORIGINAL FIRST EDITION PRINTING, IN LOVELY ROBIN'S EGG BLUE CLOTH, EMBOSSED COLOR FRONT ILLUSTRATION with FRONT COVER & SPINE LETTERING IN BRIGHT GILT. THIS EXAMPLE IS NEAR FINE, COVERS EXCELLENT, BINDER TIGHT, FAINT FOXING ON A FEW PRELIMS & FINAL PAGES...VERY FAINT. SLIGHT COLOR VARIATION ON REAR BOARD!! ALL 12 COLOR HINGED (EDGE GLUED ON HEAVY DARKER STOCK) IN PERFECT CONDITION!! ____________________________ NOTE: THIS BOOK WAS ONLY PRINTED ONCE in the U.K. in 1921. "NOTE: THERE WAS ALSO A "CHEAP" VERSION OF THE FIRST RELEASED SHORTLY AFTER THE DELUXE. IT IS A SMALLER FORMAT, (THICKER MORE PAGES), AND HAS ALL OF THE ORIGINAL HINGED COLOR PLATES -- I HAVE THAT VERSION LISTED AS WELL, IF THE DELUXE IS A BIT TOO MUCH FOR YOU)! _____________________________ IT WAS NOT UNTIL 1979 THAT HODDER & STOUGHTON ISSUED A SECOND EDITION of THE ORIGINAL DELUXE PRINTING...NOT AS THICK WITH GLOSSY FULL PAGE TIPPED-IN ILLUSTRATIONS (SEE Last two images). Appears Similar, but the Modern Re-print info is in the Rear, and it is A MERE SHADOW OF THIS BOOK. LAST IMAGE IS OF TITLEPAGE & FRONTIS OF THAT BOOK. ..AND EVEN THOUGH IT OFTEN SELLS FOR $100 OR MORE BY ITSELF, I AM INCLUDING THE COPY SHOWN WITH THE ORIGINAL AS PART OF THIS LISTING -- BOTH BOOKS, 1 PRICE! ______________________________ NOTE: the American edition was also published in 1921, but was re-printed in 1923 -- both are much more common & far less attractive books compared to this one!!

Peter Pan: or, The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (1904) is the title of Scottish playwright and novelist James M. Barrie's most famous play, and Peter and Wendy is the title of Barrie's 1911 novelization of it.
