Neverland is home to Peter Pan, a young boy who has never grown up. On one of his visits to London, Peter makes the acquaintance of young Wendy Darling, whom he invites to travel with him to Neverland and become the mother of his gang of Lost Boys. Flying through the night sky to Neverland, Wendy and her brothers John and Michael are soon caught up in marvellous adventures with the Indian Princess Tiger Lily, the loyal fairy Tinker Bell and Peter's nemesis, a sinister hook-handed pirate known as Captain Hook. Spun by J.M. Barrie from his stage play of the same name, Peter Pan is a timeless classic of children's literature. Illustrated with plates by F.D. Bedford, this exquisite full-colour edition features an elegant bonded-leather binding, a satin-ribbon bookmark, distinctive stained edging and decorative endpapers. It's a book that will be cherished by readers of all ages.

"Barrie wrote his fantasy of childhood, added another figure to our enduring literature, and thereby undoubtedly made one of the boldest bids for immortality of any writer. . . It is a masterpiece." -J. B. Priestley. "Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it." ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan. "The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it." ― J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan "Wendy," Peter Pan continued in a voice that no woman has ever yet been able to resist, "Wendy, one girl is more use than twenty boys." ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan. J. M Barrie created Peter Pan, a mischievous boy who could fly, but who never grew up. Ever since, children, and many wistful adults, have loved his irrepressible spirit and his adventures in magical Neverland with Wendy and the lost boys, Tinkerbell, fairies, mermaids, "Indians" and pirates, including Captain Hook. The story has been remade in almost every form-pantomimes, musicals, stage plays, cartoon, picture books, easy readers and, of course, Hollywood adaptations. Peter Pan and Wendy is the book that inspired it all. It will capture the imagination of any child who loves adventure, fantasy, and magic. The well-developed characters, highly original plot, humour and irony will also delight adults. Peter Pan and Wendy has often been called the finest children's story of all time. This edition contains the frontispiece and all F. D. Benson's original illustrations. J. M. Barrie (Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1860-1937) was a Scottish dramatist and novelist. Barrie, who retained a childlike spirit throughout life, wished to recapture his happy early childhood in literature. Walking in Kensington Gardens, London, he met the two young Llewelyn Davies brothers, and their youngest sibling, Peter, and told them stories about the imaginary adventures of baby Peter in Peter. He later recorded the stories and, in time, became the boys' guardian. Today J. M. Barrie is best remembered as the creator of Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up. F. D. Bedford (1864-1954) was a British artist who illustrated numerous books, most notably this edition of Peter Pan.
