Synopsis
The Little White Bird is series of short episodes, including accounts of the narrator\'s day to day activities in London of its day, and fanciful tales set in Kensington Gardens and elsewhere. Published in 1902,it ranges in tone from fantasy and whimsy to social comedy with dark aggressive undertones. The book attained prominence and longevity due to several chapters written in a softer tone than the rest of the book, in which it introduced the character and mythology of Peter Pan.
---------- About the Illustrator/Author----------
J. M. Barrie(1860– 1937), was a Scottish novelist and dramatist. He is best remembered for creating Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, whom he based on his friends, the Llewelyn Davies boys. He is also credited with popularising the name \"Wendy\", which was uncommon (especially for girls) in both Britain and America before he gave it to the heroine of Peter Pan. He was made a baronet in 1913.
Arthur Rackham (1867 – 1939) was a prolific English book illustrator. He was born in London as one of 12 children. At the age of 18, he worked as a clerk at the Westminster Fire Office and began studying at the Lambeth School of Art. In 1892, he quit his job and started working for The Westminster Budget as a reporter and illustrator. His works were included in numerous exhibitions, including one at the Louvre in Paris in 1914. While he may be best known for his elaborate illustrations of children\'s literature and fairy tales, he also illustrated books for adult readers, including A Midsummer Night\'s Dream (1908) and Undine.
