4.0 out of 5 stars _, March 19, 2000

This review is from: Peter Pan: In Kensington Gardens (Hardcover)

Even though I do think that this is a great book , it is only half of an even greater. For those of you who don't know this book was just the middle few chapters of one of JM Barrie's books entitled "The Little White Bird". I would encourage people to buy that version instead of this because it includes the same text and more detailing story of a young boy quite in the same way like Peter Pan.

4.0 out of 5 stars More creative than his later, more popular Peter stories., July 21, 1999

This review is from: Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (Hardcover)

If you buy this book, definately get an illistrated edition! The fairy images are gorgeous and worth treasuring. The story itself is beautiful: How Peter fell out of his tram, was taught by the birds to fly and finally returned home to find the window locked to him.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great story, poor illustration reproduction, March 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Peter Pan: In Kensington Gardens (Hardcover)

I would not recommend buying this book if you expect fabulous color plate images of Arthur Rackham (like I did); the images are all poorly scanned black and white (some of which are upside down in my copy) and do not do him justice. However, if you plan on reading this for the story and don't care about illustration quality, I would highly recommend this book.
