About this book

"Then Peter knew that there was not a moment to lose. Come he cried imperiously and soared out at once into the night followed by John and Michael and Wendy." When Peter Pan flies in through the Darling childrens nursery window in search of his shadow the scene is set for a wonderful tale of adventure and excitement that has captured the imagination of children and adults for more than a century first as a play and then novel. Leaving their nursery far behind Wendy and her two brothers join Peter on a journey to the Neverland a magical place filled with fantastic characters like the Lost Boys fairies mermaids and pirates including of course their notorious leader Captain Hook. With its daring escapades and epic battles Peter Pan and Wendy captures the spirit of childhood and has become one of the best-loved childrens books of all time. Robert Ingpen first attempted illustrating this classic when he was only seven years old and remarkably still has his early drawings. Now his beautifully updated illustrations breathe new life into this most famous of modern fairy stories.
