As the book suggests, this is an A-Z of Peter Pan and has an illustration of a character from Peter Pan to the left representing a letter of the alphabet with related verse from Peter Pan to the right There is a crack to the joint between the Copyright Page and the Introduction "A Round Robin to J.M. Barrie" but the pages are still firmly bound in. There is a small ink stain to the fore edge of the pages - which is not serious since it does not affect the text nor the illustrations. Overall the pages are in Very Good condition A really attractive and rare book that rarely comes up for sale. Very Good/No Jacket.
