Margaret Ogilvy

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1897. Hardcover. Near Fine. First American edition. Gray papercovered boards decorated in white and gilt. Top edge gilt. Modest age-toning on the boards, else near fine. Barrie's successful early novels which romanticized Scottish small town life, including *The Little Minister*, drew heavily on his mother's memories. Generally considered one of the best efforts by the inventor of *Peter Pan*, it is particularly noted for its humor and lack of Victorian reticence.
