description: The Little White Bird is a novel written by J.M. Barrie, the author of the beloved children's classic, Peter Pan. The book was first published in 1902 and tells the story of a middle-aged man named David who becomes enamored with a young boy named Peter. David spends much of his time with Peter, telling him stories and taking him on adventures. The novel is divided into two parts, with the first part being a collection of short stories about David and Peter, while the second part follows David's attempts to find a mother for Peter. The book is a mixture of fantasy, humor, and social commentary, touching on themes such as the nature of childhood, the relationship between adults and children, and the role of imagination in our lives. The Little White Bird is considered a classic of children's literature and has been adapted into several stage plays and films.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
