Illustrated by Arthur Rackham

A rare printing of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens by James Matthew Barrie. The story of Peter Pan is one of the most famous and beloved children's stories of all time and has inspired some of the most enjoyed films, music, and plays. The story was originally published as part of "The Little White Bird," but then the Peter Pan chapters were extracted and published as a separate work along with the Arthur Rackham illustrations as "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens."
