The Little White Bird (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161469103)

The Little White Bird is a novel written by J.M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan. The book is a semi-autobiographical work that tells the story of a bachelor who becomes enamored with a young boy named David. The narrator, who remains unnamed, befriends David and becomes his confidante, sharing stories and adventures with him. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the narrator's relationship with David and the second part exploring the narrator's romantic interest in a woman named Mary. Throughout the book, Barrie explores themes of love, friendship, and the complexities of human relationships. The Little White Bird is considered a classic work of children's literature and is often cited as an important precursor to Barrie's later work, Peter Pan.Has it ever been your lot, reader, to be persecuted by a pretty woman who thinks, without a tittle of reason, that you are bowed down under a hopeless partiality for her? It is thus that I have been pursued for several years now by the unwelcome sympathy of the tender-hearted and virtuous Mary A----. When we pass in the street the poor deluded soul subdues her buoyancy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
