By (author) Barrie, James Matthew
Description:

Rediscover this beloved children''s classic, reissued in a brand new edition, re-illustrated throughout by Hoang Giang (Flower Block)

‘All children, except one, grow up.''

It was an ordinary Friday night. Until Peter Pan flew in through the Darling children’s window, looking for his shadow. You see, there’s nothing ordinary about Peter Pan.
Soon, Wendy, Michael and John Darling are flying too, soaring over a sleeping London, led across the twinkling stars by Peter Pan and Tinker Bell. They’re on their way to Neverland! A wondrous world of pirates, mermaids and fairies, where the Lost Boys play all day and never grow up.

With magic in the air, it all seems too good to be true until the Darling children meet Captain Hook and his terrible crew, and hear the tick tick tick of the hungry crocodile ...

Biographical note:
James Matthew 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 1904was a hit. Barrie then adapted the play into the 1911 novel Peter Pan and Wendy. He was made a baronet in 1913 and awarded the Order of Merit in 1922. J.M. Barrie died on June 19, 1937. Proceeds from every copy will go to benefit Great Ormond Street Hospital
