Description
A deluxe gift edition of the magical classic about the boy who never grew up with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, and a silk ribbon bookmark.
Wendy, Michael, and John are fast asleep when the window of their nursery blows open and lets in a very remarkable boy, Peter Pan, and his fairy, Tinker Bell. Peter entices the three children from their beds and out through the window to Neverland. There, they encounter mermaids, fairies, the Lost Boys, and the princess Tiger Lily and her tribe. Along with their new friends, the children do battle with a villainous gang of pirates and their leader, the sinister Captain Hook.

About the Author
James Matthew (J.M.) Barrie was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland in 1860. Peter Pan was inspired by the author's friendship with the Llewelyn-Davies family. Barrie would tell George and Jack Llewyllen-Davies-the original lost boys-stories about Neverland. He originally wrote the story as a play and its first performance in 1904 was a hit. Barrie then adapted the play into the 1911 novel Peter Pan and Wendy. J.M. Barrie died on June 19, 1937.
