Theirs was one of the most successful literary partnerships extant, lasting 36 years and authoring several hundred volumes. The Rackham plate (dated '06) was originally published in the artist's edition of Peter Pan and is included here to illustrate a different story altogether. Not recorded by Hudson or Riall.
