Illustrated Peter Pan: Peter Pan

Product Information

I like to think that modern kids have new expectations and that we can offer them a completely new approach to an old story - and this MinaLima illustrated editions does that amazingly. These early sketches are always the most loose and un-bridled, and the publishers wanted to retain some of that hand-drawn feel from the Peter character sketch for the final illustration. Illustrated with Fifty tissue-guarded, tipped-in colour plates and additional monochrome motifs and decorations by Arthur Rackham. Inside, these editions mostly consist of text, text, text (pleasant font and layout for reading), but the small black and white illustrations are very, very few in number.

It is the ultimate escapist adventure with children free to follow their dreams, fight their demons and revel in being young. This is a glorious edition of a children’s classic, with enchanting illustrations by Charles van Sandwyk. Featuring a fascinating introduction by Val McDermid and new illustrations by Juan Esteban Rodríguez, each copy has been signed by both the introducer and the illustrator.The hands on hips pose is definitely another one of those classic Pan-signifiers, which I did initially bypass, but I think that along with the fact he's now looking up at the moon lends itself really well in terms of shape, balance and sense of fluidity as your eye is led around the cover.

Immersive and lavishly illustrated, the first book in our MinaLima Classics collection is a deluxe edition of J. With captivating illustrations and ten interactive paper-engineered elements, this beloved story will enthral readers of all ages and become a treasured keepsake for any bookshelf.Though admittedly the originals are not always the best, or even good, many are quite special, and I always prefer to consider them first and only move on to other editions if I find them lacking (or impossible to find).

The production opened on 27 December 1904 to huge success, breaking all previous theatrical records. To mark Folio’s 75th anniversary, Michael Ende’s The Neverending Story is published as a magical new edition, beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Marie-Alice Harel and bursting with exquisite design details.

We were recently asked if we would like to review The Complete Peter Pan, illustrated by Joel Stewart – a new copy of an old favourite, complete with beautiful and wonderful illustrations. Our Adult Fiction Books, Range includes Classics Novels, Comic Books, Crime, Thriller, Mystery Novels, General Fiction, Horror, Romance, Science Fiction and War. This is already the best version in my opinion, but it could have been a book to kill for - if it had even more illustrations. The binding rubbed and faded along the board edges, spine faded to a golden brown; text evenly toned. POST UPDATE: As my old favorite, the Scott Gustafson illustrated version of Peter Pan is no longer available - I am now recommending the MinaLima illustrated version of Peter Pan, due to its inclusion of interactive elements that are certain to fascinate any young reader!

We have been reading two or three chapters every day or every other day (dependent on Jack’s mood) and he loves the book. Both versions tell the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous little boy who can fly, and his adventures on the island of Neverland with Wendy Darling and her brothers, the fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the pirate Captain Hook. Follow the Darling children as they fly away to the Neverland with the captivating Peter Pan, to battle pirates and play make-believe with the lost boys.As a pretty lovely little extra, proceeds from the sale of this book go to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity, carrying on J M Barrie’s bequest and support of the hospital. One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (which encompassed the years from 1850 until the start of the First World War), Rackham’s artistry is quite simply, unparalleled. Robert Ingpen's trademark illustrations are world famous and if you like the style - you are in luck! I don't want to get your hopes up, but it seems that an Bambi version illustrated by the best selling illustrator Richard Cowdrey is coming out next month (on Feb 19, 2013), published by Alladin. cloth covered boards, hardcover; 125 pages plus 50 unnumbered pages of plates; color illustrations; board edges are lightly foxed else very good in a lightly edgeworn dust jacket.
