It is set in Mrs. Eaves and Gill Sans, with the decorative capital in Ivory. The paper is a luxurious handmade 300gsm made from 100% cotton rags with deckled edges on all sides ."

"There were not many 'PeterĀPans.' Boys preferred pirates, most of them fierce-looking, with daggers protruding from their belts. Among the prizes were books of the play by Sir J. M. Barrie, autographed by Princess Beatrice, Princess Marie Louise, Lady Milford Haven, Sir James Barrie, Sir George Frampton, and Mr. Arthur Rackham." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Small closed tear to the foot of the title page. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. A splendid association copy of Rackham's masterpiece. Barrie's beloved character, Peter Pan's namesake "came from Peter Llewelyn Davies, who when still a baby became the subject of stories told by Barrie to [Peter's older brothers]. According to these stories Peter, like all babies, had once been a bird and could still fly out of his nursery window and back to Kensington Gardens, because his mother had forgotten to weigh him at birth. From these stories came the 'Peter Pan' chapters in The Little White Bird [published 1902], afterwards re-issued with Arthur Rackham illustrations as Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens" (Carpenter, 177). "The 50 color plates were unanimously praised by all who saw them. One critic wrote: 'Mr. Rackham seems to have dropped out of some cloud in Mr. Barrie's fairyland, sent by special providence to make pictures in tune with his whimsical genius" (Dalby, 76-77). The book established Rackham's reputation and remains "his acknowledged masterpiece" (Ray, 204).
