Draft cover for "Peter and Wendy"

Final cover

Merchiston Publishing is proud to present a new edition of J.M. Barrie’s Peter and Wendy to mark the 100th anniversary of the original publication. It’s been a wild adventure with lost boys, mischievous fairies, a hungry crocodile and a band of fearsome pirates – and that’s just the publishers!

Published with kind permission from Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital,* the team is distributing the title to children’s hospitals across the UK to bring the magic of Peter Pan to children at a time where they often feel sad or afraid.

We would also like to thank the Edward Clark Trust, whose generous support makes this publication possible.

Using J.M. Barrie’s unabridged text, as well as classic illustrations to bring the story to life, we hope the book and the materials you find on the website will draw you into an unforgettable world of fairies, pirates, mermaids, redskins, crocodiles and lost boys!

* The hospital holds the right to royalties from any performance and commercial publications or products of “Peter Pan”.
