by BARRIE, J.M.
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1896. Hardcover. 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)
