Barrie, J.M. (1860 - 1937)
Autograph Letter Regarding "Peter Pan."
Fine autograph letter from the Scottish Novelist and creator of Peter Pan. Signed "J M Barrie," one page, 8vo, Strand, London, 15th September 1926, to R. Golding Bright. Penned in a more legible hand than is usually encountered, Barrie writes: "I think that arrangement for Peter Pan at the Winter Gardens Theatre this year would be good, Miss Dickson to be Peter, and in these circumstances they could have the play for this year at flat royalty of 10%." Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Barrie. Two file holes appear in the upper edge of the letter, not affecting the text or signature; both the letter and envelope are neatly inlaid to separate mounts and are in very fine condition.Barrie refers to the American-born English Actress Dorothy Dickson (1893-1995). One of her earliest stage roles was as Peter Pan in the production that the novelist refers to in his letter.
Letters by Barrie referring to his most famous creation are extremely rare and desirable. (4849)
