Peter Pan
The front appears to be the classic tale by JM Barrie, Peter Pan. The impish
Peter is standing triumphantly, his hair flying every which way looking truly
the leader of the Lost Boys. Bordering the jungle of Neverland is the
Crocodile, Captain Hook's ship and Tinkerbell, lending us some fairy dust for
our magical tale. The title and author are in gold and pearl patina.
The back is particularly cool- its a fairys-eye view of Neverland! I love this
because you really get a good feel for all the characters in the story- you have
your Indians (Native Americans) with the help of the beautiful Tiger Lily) in
league with Peter, you have pirates, being led by Captain Hook, you have the
mysterious mermaids, are they primping or waiting to pull you under the water?
The Crocodile is emerging from the lagoon, and Wendy, Michael, John and Peter
flying overhead.
The spine is the same aqua as the sky on the back,
swirling with pearl fairy dust and twilight. Captain Hook's hook is inlaid into
the wood.
The whole thing is sprayed with a glossy, protective
finish.
This is an absolutely wonderful piece for any fan of literature,
JM Barrie, Peter Pan or any of the characters (I always had a soft spot for
Slightly myself). Would make a great gift for yourself or for someone else!
