Nice, but it needs an inside front cover to make the pages display correctly in a double-page layout. ... Regarding similarities to the Disney adaptation, this book would have been published only 3 years after the proper debut of Pan (Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a 1904 stage play). From what I can tell, the illustrations from the earliest period usually depict him as capless and clad in a suit of leaves, so this version (authorized or not) was quite different and very likely an influence on the Disney artists.

Here's Maude Adams, the first American Peter Pan, in a 1905 postcard.
