The beloved classic Peter Pan has been adapted for film, stage, and countless spin-offs, but never like this—through the vibrant brushwork of celebrated Belgian cartoonist Brecht Evens.
In this intricately illuminated edition, Evens takes an inventive approach to J.M. Barrie's timeless tale, transforming Neverland into a boundless realm of imagination. Pirate ships, lost cities, fairy societies, mystical beasts, and magical creatures all come to life in a world that exists 'somewhere between reality and all we've ever dreamed,' as Barrie so poetically described.
This edition features an introduction by Maria Tatar, a renowned specialist in children's literature and folklore at Harvard University. Part of the ongoing Illuminated Editions series, this volume showcases how today’s greatest graphic artists breathe new life into literary classics through original illustration and design
This book is a luxurious 9x12" oversized hardcover, meticulously bound in sewn signatures and housed in a beautifully crafted slipcase featuring elaborate embossing, debossing, die-cut design, and silk-screened artwork.
Inside, the pages are printed on rich, acid-free, heavy-weight 140gsm uncoated paper, ensuring lasting quality. Each edition is adorned with at least ten full-page illustrations, complemented by numerous spot drawings and illuminated letters throughout.
