Beschreibung

'Peter Ibbetson' is a novel written and illustrated by George du Maurier, although claiming to be written as an autobiography with an Introduction by His Cousin Lady ***** ("Madge Plunket") and only edited by du Maurier. First edition in original illustrated cloth bindings. George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier (1834 - 1896) was a French-born British cartoonist and author, known for his cartoons in Punch and also for his novel Trilby. He was the father of actor Gerald du Maurier and grandfather of the writers Angela du Maurier and Dame Daphne du Maurier. He was also the father of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and thus grandfather of the five boys who inspired Peter Pan. Owing to his deteriorating eyesight, du Maurier reduced his involvement with Punch in 1891 and settled in Hampstead, where he wrote three novels. His first, Peter Ibbetson, was a modest success at the time and later adapted to stage and screen, most notably in the 1935 film starring Gary Cooper, and as an opera. In original illustrated cloth bindings. Externally, sound but with slight wear to extremities, marks and stains to boards and spines are slightly cocked. Front hinges slightly strained. Internally, generally firmly bound although strained in places. Pages are bright but with occasional spots and handling marks and scattered spotting to endpapers. With marginal chipping where unopened pages have been opened. Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GEN16-F-6
