Peter and Wendy

The census is correct: the UK Hodder & Stoughton edition (London, 1911) is the accepted true first, published 18 October 1911, with Charles Scribner's Sons (New York) following on 21 October 1911 — three days later, hence "nearly simultaneous" but not co-equal. Burnside Rare Books (ABAA) catalogues the Hodder as "the true first edition of the novel colloquially known as Peter Pan". Both editions are illustrated by F. D. Bedford and both are collected, the British generally the more sought. The census is also correct that the play text is a separate and much later book: it was not published until 1928, as Peter Pan; or, The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up — a distinct work, not an edition of this novel.
