Once he teaches Wendy, John, and Michael how to fly with him back to the Neverland, imaginations and adventures unfurl. This collectible edition includes a soft-touch cover, gold foiling, and dreamy artwork from Caldecott winner Trina Schart Hyman, whose illustrations are as mischievous, ethereal, and playful as Peter Pan himself.
