[BARRIE, J. M.]. Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens: From the Little White Bird. A New Edition Illustrated by Arthur Rackham. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1912.

First edition thus - frontispiece dated 1912. Leather-bound. Presented in cloth-covered slipcase. Hardcover. Large format quarto (280 x 210 x 45 mm.). Pp. 126 + 50 colour tipped-in plates. Bound in stunning full polished green calf by Bayntun (signed on the front endleaf with an ink pallet). The covers with a gilt border composed of two fillets. The spine divided into six panels with gilt compartments, lettered in the second and third on contrasting red and black goatskin labels, the others tooled with flowers and sprigs. The edges of the boards and turn-ins similarly ruled and tooled. All pages edges gilt. Hand-marbled endpapers. Beautifully illustrated by Arthur Rackham with 50 colour tipped-in plates - each with a captioned tissue-guard, plus 7 full-page black and white illustrations (including a map of Kensington Gardens), and 12 black and white illustrations within the text. Condition: FINE. An immaculate example without previous ownership markings - beautifully rebound by the famous Bayntun bindery. Scarce thus.

Notes: An extremely attractive enlarged edition of Rackham's illustrations for Peter Pan, first published in 1906. However, this 'New' edition has the advantage of having the illustrations staggered throughout, as the story unfolds, rather than bound altogether at the rear, as well as the addition of a further seven black & white plates not featured in the original, a new colour frontispiece illustration of the eponymous Peter, dated 1912, as well as new typesetting and design for the pictorial title-page. Aesthetically, this 'best edition' is often preferred to the 1906 edition. Latimore & Haskell p. 40.
