Posted this a few years ago (!) to LWP87 when searching the web for anything on Peter's Wonderful Adventure, by Marguerite Murphy, Ginn & Co. (1927), after I saw the book listed in LWP87's library. Original post went: "Hiya! Just a guy that occasionally goes through antique stores with his wife and friends, and recently spent some time (not much to be honest) glancing through old childrens books since I, too, about 50 years ago had a copy of Peter's Wonderful Adventure that I read and re-read and re-read. I don't know where my parents got it...some of the stuff that survived the years, my sister still has, but not that book. (She doesn't seem to remember it, though at two years younger, most of my stuff went though her hands, too.) I seem to remember the last time I was looking for a copy was when my son was just learning to read...time has a way of slipping away on us...he's 25 now, and graduated from university and working and living in Florida. Anyone know the author or anything about the book? Bet if I only put a little bit of effort into it, I could find a copy in an antique shop. If I do, I will post it...though I am not a "library-thinger". And, if I find two copies, I will notify you, AnnaBlume and vdfukawi. :-)" ...the last two were others who had commented to LPW87 before me. I just noted you had recently listed the book, too. Have a copy? Know a source? FYI, I've kept a vigilant eye out at various antique shops/shows (though I don't very much frequent them) and I haven't come across a copy. Anyway, HAGD.
