When Peter Pan flies in through the Darling children's nursery window in search of his shadow, the scene is set for a classic tale that has captured the imagination of children and adults for one hundred years.
Wendy and her two brothers join Peter on a series of exciting adventures with the inhabitants of the magical island of the Neverland: the Lost Boys, to whom Wendy becomes 'mother', the mischievous fairy Tinker Bell, the brave Redskins, the Pirates on the Jolly Roger - and their notorious leader, Captain Hook, whose destiny lies in the hands of a crowing boy and a ticking crocodile.
To celebrate the centenary of the first public performance of Peter Pan in 1904, this magnificent new edition, complete and unabridged, is published in collaboration with Great Ormond Street Hospital, to which J.M. Barrie donated his copyright to Peter Pan. The foreword has been written by David Barrie, the author's great-great-nephew, and award-winning artist Robert Ingpen has contributed over seventy beautiful illustrations. Readers will be captivated as never before by the exciting adventures of Peter Pan and Wendy.'All children, except one, grow up.'
