Peter Pan take two...

So yesterday I didn't get a chance to take some pictures of the inside of the Peter Pan Story Book that I posted to the blog -- today I got a chance to take some pictures. Unfortunately, this format doesn't seem to do the vivid colors much justice.

Hopefully you can click on the pictures to get a better view.


This particular picture of Tinkerbell got a mention in one dealer's description for the fact that it is a rather "Hot" version of Tinkerbell -- not a kiddie version. That dealer was right on the money. This picture looks more like a Vargas pin-up than a Children's fairy story fairy. It's quite nice though.

And the colors (which aren't showing up really well on this) are so VIVID (I know I used that word before, but I'm stuck for an alternative).

Enjoy!

The Picture Story book of Peter Pan

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.
