[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. Hardback. Large format quarto (280 x 210 x 45 mm.). Pp. 126 + 50 colour tipped-in plates. Bound in publishers original green cloth with gilt decoration. 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: VERY GOOD. Contents complete. Binding tight, secure and square. Very mild bumping to spine ends. Rear cover lightly faded. Interior near immaculate with some very light foxing to endpapers. Private owner bookplate to front endpaper. An excellent copy.

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.
