Peter Pan (Illustrated)

Peter Pan: An Illustrated Classic

---

I'll take it pretty much as read that you know the story of Peter Pan, the young boy who left his shadow behind, and in collecting it took three children with him to a fantasy world full of nasty men, danger and mystery. I know, the lad is totally irresponsible. You may well know it from panto, or from Disney — and it's the latter that this book is concerning.

It's a very snappy capture of the story that won't take long at all to read, but it's what that text is paired with that makes it worth attention. Mary Blair was a long-time worker with the Disney animators, and created so many images that they have managed to cobble together three whole books based mostly on her concept art for the classic cartoon movies. They don't go into cinematic detail here, being rough concepts, but they helped define the look, the feel and certainly the mood of things, whether it be the beginnings of the Indian hunt or the gloomy battles with Hook.

Also, being concept art, they don't always stick to what you would think is important with every page, so it's only the ninth spread when we get a clear look at Pan. Little of the actual characters comes across here, as that was the job of the real animators — only now and again do you get a look at anyone.

If children feel that the parent grasps the story well - or enjoys it - then they often try harder to follow. But, this is admittedly guesswork - it is true that I don't have the experience of reading Peter Pan aloud to my kids, so I will point you to a couple of links, where you will be able to read about experiences by other parents with the classic Peter Pan. The good news is that Peter Pan will still be a treat..

Amy thank so much for sharing your experience! That was a wonderfully helpful reply! No guilt in it. The right time will come. I like all of your suggestions about how to read it when the time comes to try again. Thank you also for the links.

And thanks for this wonderful post! I'm very excited to make my way through your others as I read to my son. However, I have one question: When you do evaluations such as this one -- and thank you so much for doing so, as I often find myself hunting for posts such as this -- do you consider the original book with its original illustrations? Though admittedly the originals are not always the best, or even good, many are quite special, and I always prefer to consider them first and only move on to other editions if I find them lacking or impossible to find.

I'm always curious about how later versions compare and wish posts like this would discuss the other options in the context of the original work or at least include mention of it. Thanks again for your efforts in this blog.

I'm sure it will remain a valuable reference for me for years to come. Oh, and have you finally read this one to your twins? If so, how'd it go over? Hi Suzie, Better late than never, as they say! Hi Suzie, Great question and I think many people are probably interested in this!

In fact, I do research on the books that are available to me and then I choose the one that ticks most of my boxes. So - if the original is available, I do consider it. If it is not easily accessible to me, I don't hunt high and low for it. My primary goal is usually to find a good read-aloud edition of a classic for my twins. So, in the process, I usually research which books are available in the market to me at that given point of time.

So, when I mention "best illustrated edition", I really mean "best illustrated edition that was available to me based on my criteria during the time when I was hunting for a copy": Hi Suzie, Me again. I expect to read it to them in the next 12 months or so.

The waiting list is long: After reading my review of an enchanting illustrated version of the original Pinocchio, Sandra said she wanted to find more smashing illustrated classics for kids. This is another one with endless editions and illustrators. If there's one by Roberto Innocenti, I missed it. Wouldn't that be a dream? I'm having that deja vu feeling again Thank you ever so much! The bad news was that she would have to several days for my response in the form of this blog post. My first candidate was the: I was excited to read the words "th Anniversary Edition" in the title, I was practically certain that this would be the book for me.
