# Rare 1911 J.M. Barrie "Peter and Wendy" – Author's Edition (Vol. VII)**Published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York**
An extraordinary opportunity to own a foundational piece of children's literature history. This 1911 volume represents the very first year J.M. Barrie's legendary "Peter and Wendy" was published as a complete novel. This specific copy is Volume VII of Scribner’s prestigious, high-end uniform "Author's Edition" subscription set.
### WHY THIS VOLUME IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE:- **Stunning Shelf Appeal:** Features the iconic, classic olive-green cloth binding. The striking gold gilt lettering on the front cover remains remarkably bright, crisp, and untarnished—retaining its original antique brilliance.- **Historical Significance:** A true 1911 artifact from the dawn of Peter Pan's literary legacy, printed on heavy, premium paper stock typical of Scribner’s deluxe editions.- **Excellent Text Block:** Unlike many children's books of this age, the interior pages are clean, crisp, and tightly bound. It is entirely free of heavy foxing, water damage, or messy childhood scribbles.
### TRUTHFUL CONDITION REPORT (Priced Accordingly):We believe in absolute transparency so you can offer with confidence. Please review the high-resolution photos to observe the following antique wear:- **Spine & Binding:** The binding is structurally sound and secure. There is minor fraying and a small tear to the cloth at the very top edge of the spine, along with light shelf wear to the top/bottom edges of the boards.- **Missing Plate Note:** Please note that this copy is missing the "Peter on Guard" illustration plate originally located opposite page 88. However, the magnificent frontispiece illustration ("Peter Flew In") is fully intact and beautifully preserved.
This is the perfect "filler" copy for an advanced collector looking to complete their Scribner's Barrie set, or a beautiful, budget-friendly cornerstone piece for a general vintage book collector.
