Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn’t grow up, whisks Wendy Darling and her brothers, John and Michael, off to Neverland to take care of the Lost Boys and battle with Captain Hook’s pirate crew. This beautiful edition contains stunning illustrations and interactive elements from MinaLima. One of my favourite things about reading the original versions of such well-known fairytales is actually seeing how accurate Disney’s representation was. Of course, there are elements that have been changed in the various movie versions, but on the whole, Disney’s version is remarkably close to Barrie’s original story. Unfortunately, Barrie’s writing has become rather dated. There are some seriously outdated social views represented throughout the story, particularly in relation to male and female roles, and his treatment of the Native Americans. It’s important to remember that this book was written over 100 years ago, and we have thankfully come a long way since then. Having said that, the narrative style is lovely and the story really is magical, if a little bizarre (Mr Darling refusing the leave Nana’s kennel while the children are gone?). There are some really excellent elements that I was never aware of before, such as the only way of telling the time in Neverland being to follow the crocodile around until the clock chimes inside it, and Hook’s absolute dedication to “good form”. As ever, the illustrations from Minalima are gorgeous. They really bring the story to life and make a classic fairytale even more special.

Peter Pan is a beautiful tale and now the illustration matches the words. The classic tale by J.M. Barrie is now accompanied by rich and gorgeous illustrations from MinaLima, the graphic design team that created the look and feel of the Harry Potter world for the big screen. Open the pages and go with Wendy and Peter to the world of Never Land, follow them all across the island, fight the pirates, celebrate with the lost boys and save Tinkerbell. Peter Pan is the perfect adventure for all ages and with these new illustrations and 12 interactive features you'll experience the story on a whole new level. Any lover of the story or collector of books would be mad to miss out on this beautiful edition.

Escape into a fantasy world. A truly wonderful edition of this journey into Neverland. Jam packed with stunning illustrations, meet the unexpected on almost every page. A glorious gift or just a sheer indulgence this unabridged edition of Peter Pan is absolutely stunning.

J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan will always be my favourite tale. It's beautiful, simple and yet complex all at the same time. It's vulnerability of leaving childhood behind and switching to adulthood is a massive theme through the book, but it adds a sense of wonder and triumph to each twist and turn in the tale. Peter Pan is the boy we all dream of meeting, but what is a dream? J.M. Barrie uses this concept of a 'dream' to present the clash between reality and the dream world known as Neverland. If you could leave would you? If it meant forgetting yourself and reality? It's superb. It magnifies the subtle and hidden into the eye of the innocent child and allows a child to be drawn to see and fly with Peter in a world like no other. If I would encourage one to visit Peter from the nursery, it's wonderful, but be careful not to forget you are simply reading a children's book, it's that superb.

This is beautiful, I've been in love with this story for a long time and the original story made me fall in love with it all over again.
