I'm going to try to add some pictures of the inside illustrations of this -- the colors that Roy Best used for his illustrations are WONDERFUL. Very reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish color-wise, but the style of the humans is completely his own. This particular copy of Peter Pan starts with the play version of the book and modifies that to fit a children's picture book.
The story has, of course, been jiggled around to be for younger children but it's not really the text that's of interest here, it's the illustrations.
As I said, I'm going to try to add some more pictures to show you what wonderful illustrations they are.

This book has so many wonderful memories for me. My mom used to read it to us in the evening before bed. It was a favorite. My copy is falling apart. I wish I could preserve it somehow...
