Thank you to Dewey’s Readathon for reaching out and asking for some bookish content!
Peter Pan is one of the most adapted, spun off, and expanded stories. Not only are there multiple films — both live action and animated — from multiple perspectives and time periods, but he’s a character on several television shows as well. Authors have adapted Peter’s world in literature from all different angles. It’s hard to keep track of them all, but I’ve collected the ones that interest me the most on a Bookshop list! Full disclosure, if you order any of these books from my list, I do get a small commission as I am a Bookshop Affiliate. Here’s how some of these books earned their spot on my already massive TBR.
We’ll start with my absolute favorite edition of the original story:
PETER PAN: By J.M. Barrie, illustrations by Scott Gustafson
This hardcover edition of Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie is illustrated in stunning detail by Scott Gustafson. It’s the edition I obsessed over when I first fell in love with the original story, so I’m a little biased but it is truly a beautiful book. It doesn’t shy away from some of the darker elements of the story, and brings this fantastic world to life with its realistic art style.
