Large format paper back for easy reading. The first appearance of Peter Pan who is to be found wandering London's Kensington Gardens at night

Peter Pan — a little boy who doesn't want to grow up — has run off to Never-Never Land where he becomes the leader of a wild tribe of Lost Boys. This amazing fantasy land is also home to Tinker Bell the fairy, the Indian princess Tiger Lily, and a ragtag band of pirates led by Peter's longtime enemy, Captain Hook. Somewhere along the way, Peter manages to lose his shadow, and while searching for it, meets the Darling children — who immediately become his friends. After a quick lesson in flying, they're all off to Never-Never Land and one thrilling adventure after another. Over the years, James M. Barrie's delightful tale, made even more familiar through Broadway plays, television, and motion pictures, has charmed generations of youngsters. This complete, unabridged edition promises to captivate countless new readers with its timeless appeal.

The adventures of the infant Peter Pan in London's Kensington Gardens--one of Barrie's most enchanting works.

* With supplemental material documenting the development of J.M. Barrie's concept of Peter Pan over the years: * "The Evolution of Peter Pan," tracing the growth of the Peter Pan mythology; * Editor's supplement: "A Gift of Ghosts," revealing background andinsight into the origin of Peter Pan in J.M. Barrie's personal life. * Text restored to original form, which editions since the mid-20th century may have changed or deleted. * Includes all 14 illustrations created by F.D. Bedford, rarely seen and now restored from the first edition in 1911. Peter Pan is vanishing.Unauthorized changes have tinkered with J.M. Barrie's magic. How can we know that the book we call Peter Pan is presented the way Barrie first penned it? Since the mid-20th century, readers couldn't be certain -- until this edition. With the award-winning Hook & Jill Saga, the Reginetta Press drew grown-up readers back to the Neverland. Now it carries us to the Island again, this time on the wings of Barrie's own words.... "All children, except one, grow up." Peter Pan himself grew in his author's imagination, from the true boys Barrie knew, to the infant of The Little White Bird, to the Wonderful Boy on stage, to his familiar form in Peter and Wendy. But no evolution of Barrie's text is necessary for us to revel in his Neverland? in any era, and at any age. With Peter and Wendy: the Restored Text, the Reginetta Press preserves the integrity of Barrie's manuscript, before it is lost to time. All other versions stand "second-to-the-right" of J.M. Barrie's. This Reginetta Press edition replicates the exact text of J.M. Barrie's 1911 novelization of the Peter Pan story, Peter and Wendy, and reproduces the F.D. Bedford illustrations.

After reading the tale of the three Darling children's adventures in Never-Never Land with Peter Pan, the boy who would not grow up, the reader is invited to turn the book upside down and read an updated version told from from the point of view of Captain Hook.A retelling of the original story is accompanied by Captain Hook's own account of events
