Peter Pan is the classic story of a boy who never wanted to grow up. Word for word, this edition is the same as the original, first published in 1911. Here are the differences: first, the cover art is more child-friendly and depicts a boy child in a tree, hands on hips, looking over a ship in the harbor. Secondly, the size is more appropriate for a child’s hand, and measures 5.25″ x 8″. Thirdly, there is a glossary at the back which explains some of the unique (outdated) vocabulary. Fourthly, there are suggested activities for children who want to play at being Peter Pan. And, lastly, and most interesting to me, was the information at the end which explains J.M. Barrie’s life and motivation for writing Peter Pan. He must have been such a kind man to have adopted the orphaned children that gave him inspiration for Peter’s ‘boys.’ Also, the information that Barrie gave the Peter Pan copyright to the children’s hospital so that long after his death the hospital would continue to earn money to help the children was simply amazing. This is a wonderful and cherished story told by a man too good to be true. I wish there were more like him.
