A beautiful edition of J. M. Barrie's classic Peter Pan and Wendy, featuring Mabel Lucie Attwell's gorgeous illustrations
J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) was fascinated by stories of his mother's
life. He was determined to write, and worked on the Nottingham
Journal after graduating from Edinburgh University. In 1885 he
successfully sold the Auld Licht Idylls, which were based on his
mother's tales. By the time Peter Pan opened on the London stage in
1904, Barrie had written more than thirty novels and plays, such as
Quality Street and The Admirable Crichton. He was created a baronet
in 1913 and awarded the Order of Merit in 1922.
Mabel Lucie Attwell (1879-1964) was a much loved British
illustrator whose artwork holds a unique appeal to both children
and adults. A huge commercial success during her lifetime, her
illustrations are familiar from stories such as Alice in
Wonderland, Peter Pan and Wendy and The Water-Babies.
