Peter, Wendy, Captain Hook, the lost boys, and Tinker Bell have filled the hearts of children ever since Barrie’s play first opened in London in 1904 and became an immediate sensation. Now this funny, haunting modern myth is presented with Bedford’s wonderful illustrations, which first appeared in the author’s own day, have long been out of print, and have never been equaled.

And when they join Peter on his magical island, Wendy and her brothers are in for exciting encounters with mermaids, an Indian princess, and pirates! Let the amazing adventures begin!
