Fick Disney's bokversion långt innan jag såg Disneys film, och lååångt innan jag läste J.M Barries ursprunliga bok.

One of several storybooks Disney put out to coincide with the release of their animated adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s classic, this one is a more straightforward and abbreviated affair. For amateur animation historians (like me!), it’s of interest for the involvement of a couple of bona fide Disney Legends: artists, director and eventual Imagineer John Hench and superstar background artist Al Dempster. Unlike the Eyvind Earle version, this one sticks much closer to the film’s final designs – unfortunately, right down to the unfortunate racial stereotypes and slurs of the First Nations peoples. Yet the other artwork is stunning, a brightly coloured collection of moments surrounded by intricate border images that make this an immerse affair.

Classic

Peter Pan was always an interesting Disney story. I LOVED the mermaids in the lagoon even though they were pretty mean to Wendy. I always liked the idea of living in a place where you never had to grow up.

The pictures in this edition are burned into my brain, even now these many years later. Classic scenes from the movie.

I loved the illustrations , though, reading it was a little nostalgic as I had watched it's movie a trillion times growing up. Still, going back to the NeverLand is always fun.

A great story of the lost boys from Neverland! Great for younger audiences and above average readers of elementary school kids. This books gives kids the ability to dream and explore and to always keep the little kid spirit inside of you!

A timeless abbreviated picture book of Peter Pan based on the classic Disney animated film.
