Walt Disney's Peter Pan
What's This Book About
Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, and Captain Hook have been some of the world’s most storied characters since J.M. Barrie introduced them in his beloved tale, Peter Pan. In this new picture book, Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson take a fresh look at these characters as only they can. Created for the animated film, Mary Blair’s illustrations helped to define the look of this Walt Disney classic and bring all the magic of Never Land to life–from the ominous Skull Rock to Peter’s secret underground lair. Laced with humor, action, and a dash of pixie dust, this cheeky retelling and vibrant concept art are woven into an entertaining new take on a classic story.
