The beloved classic fantasy adventure Peter Pan has been adapted countless times for film, stage, and spin-offs -- but it's never been seen as depicted by the brushwork of celebrat ed Belgian cartoonist Brecht Evens. This elaborately illuminated version of Barrie's perennial masterwork takes an inventive approach to world-building, treating Neverland as an imaginative space of infinite possibility to explore. Pirate ships, lost cities, fairy societies, unknowable beasts and magical creatures -- each of which fall, as Barrie wrote, "somewhere between reality and all we've ever dreamed." Featuring an introduction by Maria Tatar, a specialist in children’s literature and folklore at Harvard University. Part of our ongoing line of Illuminated Editions, in which today’s greatest graphic artists bring new life to literary classics with original illustration and design. 9" x 12". 168 pages. Show more
