About This Item

New York: Clarkson N. Potter, 1979. First American edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Small 4to, 323 pages, purple cloth-backed boards.

A compelling biography based in previously unpublished letters, documents and photographs ( many taken by Barrie himself). Among the secrets revealed is the derivation of the name "Wendy", which was first used by Barrie in "Peter Pan". Robert Louis Stevenson thought of himself as "a capable artist", but thought Barrie a man of genius.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company

Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
