by BARRIE, J.M.
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1896. Fine. First edition. Bumped at the foot else fine. Lovely copy of the author's adoring memoir of his mother. 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. (Inventory #: 36904)
