This is a clever and baffling character-study of Thomas Sandys (whom the
author first introduced to the public under the guise of “Sentimental
Tommy”), and of Grizel, who adores him and studies his every act and
motive.
J. M. Barrie (1860–1937) .. Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM
was a Scottish author and dramatist, best remembered today as the
creator of Peter Pan.
The son of a weaver, Barrie studied at the University of Edinburgh. He
took up journalism, worked for a Nottingham newspaper, and contributed
to various London journals before moving to London in 1885.
Very Good. First American edition. Decorative brown cloth stamped in
gilt, green, and red. Illustrated with black and white plates. Mylar
covering added by previous owner years ago. Unfortunately the previous owner crudely taped the plastic to the inside
of the endpapers, although it did protect the covers throughout the
years. Slightly bumped corners and spine ends.
Interior is crisp and clean but slightly toned due to age. No writings
other than a gift subscription "Joe, Le Grand Prix, For excellence in
statistics" front endpaper in pencil.
Please see and enlarge photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks.
