SeaWolf Press is proud to offer another book in its collection of illustrated classic literature. Each book in the collection contains the text, illustrations, and cover from the first or early edition. Our version has 12 illustrations from a 1912 edition.

J.M. Barrie first released Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up in the form of a play in 1904. He followed it up with the release in 1911 of the novel Peter and Wendy which recounts the same story and is the text contained in this edition. Peter Pan is a small boy away from his home in London who flies around the enchanted island of Neverland which is inhabited by mermaids, fairies, natives, and pirates. The tale has enshrined other characters in the common culture, including Tinker Bell, Wendy, the Lost Boys, and the pirate Captain Hook. It is a childhood classic.
