Peter Pan and Wendy
Coming-of-Age Adventure Fantasy Fairy Tale Young Adult Illustrated Book Children's Classic Literary Folio/Collector's Edition
J. M. Barrie’s timeless tale of the boy who refused to grow up leaps off the page in this lavish 2007 Folio Society edition of Peter Pan and Wendy. Bound in sturdy hardcover and illustrated throughout by Debra McFarlane, the book marries classic storytelling with gallery-quality artwork—every spread is a miniature exhibition of Never-land’s mermaids, pirates, and fairies rendered in delicate watercolor and ink. Collectors prize Folio Society titles for their archival-quality paper, sewn bindings, and cloth-covered boards, making this volume both a reading copy and a display piece that holds its value on the secondary market.
Beyond the visual feast, the text is the unabridged 1911 novel, richer and more poignant than the familiar stage play. Older readers rediscover Barrie’s sly social commentary on Edwardian childhood, while younger audiences thrill to sword fights and flight. The book bridges generations: parents can read aloud at bedtime, then slip it back on the shelf beside other Folio classics. Fantasy lovers, illustration enthusiasts, and anyone building a heritage library will appreciate how the edition keeps the wonder intact for twenty-first-century eyes.
This particular copy shows only gentle evidence of its journey—light water marks confined to the outer page edges and minor shelf wear to the pictorial cover. Internally the pages remain crisp, unmarked, and free of dog-ears, so the illustrations retain their full vibrancy. For buyers seeking a readable, gift-worthy copy without the premium price of a pristine collector’s grade, this offering delivers the Folio magic at an accessible point.
