The Annotated Peter Pan (The Centennial Edition) (The Annotated Books) |

Title that begins with the letter A
I have a weakness for the annotated series of books & I own several of them. I had never read Peter Pan prior to encountering it in the annotated volume, but it was a delight to see all the mutations Barrie's work underwent. From Peter Pan's initial cameo in The Little White Bird to a successful stage play to a subsequent full novelization, complete with the iconic Arthur Rackham illustrations👇
so-soThis edition is beautiful, and includes a lot of interesting materials and commentary - but I cannot recommend the story itself. I was familiar with Peter Pan, but had never read the actual story. In anticipation of reading Lost Boy, I decided to read it and was so disappointed. Even accounting for the time in which it was written, the blatant sexism and racism is off-putting.
Peter Pan is one of my favorite #childrensbook & the tagged edition contains Arthur Rackham's illustrations. IMO Rackham's work is as impressive as John Tenniel's.

bailedIf you like the story of Peter Pan, this edition rocks as if has all sorts of great additional material. Unfortunately, I've decided that the story of Peter Pan just isn't my cup of tea at all.

The source of the famous "Second to the right, and then straight on till morning."
Peter Pan is one of my favorite literary characters, and the Annotated Peter Pan contains a lot of new-to-me info. Does anyone else love learning new things about your favorites, or do you prefer to keep extra knowledge to a minimum?
