Unique Features: With a new introduction by Anne McCaffrey, set from the 1911 edition of Peter and Wendy, this Modern Library Paperback Classic includes 12 original illustrations by F.D. Bedford, a new biographical note, and a reading group guide.

Peter, Wendy, Captain Hook, the lost boys, and Tinker Bell have filled the hearts of children ever since Barrie's play first opened in London in 1904 and became an immediate sensation. Now this funny, haunting modern myth is presented with Bedford's wonderful illustrations, which first appeared in the author's own day, have long been out of print, and have never been equalled.
