This work, with six full-colour plates and fifteen black and white illustrations, all by Arthur Rackham, was an excellent gift for young readers.Īrthur Rackham (1867-1939), born into a “typical middle-class Victorian family” showed an aptitude for drawing from an early age, especially with “fantastic” subjects. Mary Clarissa "May" Byron (1861-1936) was an author in her own right, but was best known for her abridgements of J.M. We can come up with several scenarios for the existence of these bookplates, but since the bibliographies are silent on it we cannot state anything with certitude. The ink looks genuine but the signatures are the same interestingly, the library bookplates are tipped onto different pages. Barrie which apparently is not unique, there being one other copy online as of this writing with the same plate.
