The Little White Bird; or Adventures in Kensington Gardens, J.M. Barrie, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1909

The Little White Bird is one of J.M. Barrie's most enduring and imaginative works, first published in 1902 and notable for introducing the character of Peter Pan several years before the appearance of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and the famous stage play. Blending fantasy, humour and reflections on childhood, the novel occupies a pivotal place in the development of Barrie's best-loved creation. This volume forms part of the Author's Edition of Barrie's collected works.
