- Fantastic book, fantastic art.
Peter Pan is one of my top 5 favorite books out there. This version of the book includes absolutely beautiful art and whether you are a fan of the artist, or just a fan of the story, this is a great one to have.

Rating:

- FANTASTIC!!
This book is an absolute treasure. The hardback is gorgeous, and the paintings are vivid. The pages are large, and the printing is large as well. The story speaks for itself. I recommend this book for anyone who is a kid at heart!

- Well written
I picked up what I thought would be a playful fairy tale and got just that; for I had forgotten about the cannibalistic witch in Hansel and Gretel, about the Sea Witch in The Little Mermaid, and about the Wolf in the original telling of Little Red Riding Hood. This is a haunting and horrific tale of abuse and neglect masked with the innocent ideals of childhood. It came to a chilling conclusion and will stay with me for quite a while. I am quite impressed that the themes in this book were so elegantly masked as to double as a children's story as well as an adult story with very disturbing themes. I will keep my copy of this book, but it certainly won't be the first thing that I read to my daughter out-loud. I must add that the metaphors the author used, and the sensitivity to language should be celebrated and I do not think it wrong to call this a classic. It is timeless and very real and applicable.

- Great Book
I have a two year old daughter who adores the story of Peter Pan and I thought it would be great to have a nice copy of it to read to her. She loves the pictures in this book and I really hope that she'll continue to enjoy the story as she gets older.

- Great Fun
This was an interesting book, full of adventure but also has a more serious side about the need to grow up and grow in wisdom. It makes us realize the consequences of our actions and also the importance of family and friends. The questions it left unanswered for me were: -What school is it that Hook went to? What is known for its slouch and walk? -The question of fairies that are unsure of their sex? Androgynous like angels? -Forget fairies and you kill them the power of naming or unnaming A great read for children of all ages, and if you like Peter Pan then check out Capt. Hook: The Adventures of a Notorious Youth by J.V. Hart for an introduction to Hook as a young man. (First written as Journal Reading Notes in 1999.)
