Publisher Description: J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan is one of the best loved, and most powerfully moving tales ever written for children. The high-spirited and wily adventures of the boy who would never grow up are as stirring a fantasy as any written, while Barrie's reflections on the nature of age, memory, and time, offer wise and memorable insights into human nature. This edition includes Barrie's original novel along with two sets of classic illustrations, F.D. Bedford's elaborate engravings from the the first edition, as well as the whimsical drawings of Oliver Herford from The Peter Pan Alphabet, authorized by Barrie himself. Both sets provide a beautiful and dramatic visual compliment to this timeless story of innocence and maturity, fairies and pirates. Also included are vocabulary notes for many words and phrases that may be unfamiliar to today's young readers. |
