Fig’s Giant

MO

   Peter Pan In Scarlet

Illustrated by DAVID WYATT

"The sequel turned out quite old in age appeal - which was in keeping with J M Barrie's book. But many people think of Peter Pan as a favourite of little children. So with those children in mind OUP and Great Ormond Street Hospital asked me to shorten my story and take out the scarier, darker elements; they asked David to illustrate it in full colour. But I don't think anyone was expecting the fabulous pictures he came up with. It has given a whole new dimension to Neverland. Even if you already own the older version, even if you are at the older end of the reading spectrum, do take a look inside the new 'big red book' just to appreciate a master-craftsman at work."

Oxford University Press

 

The official sequel to Peter Pan needs to be an exceptional book, and that’s exactly what we have in Peter Pan in Scarlet ….. books such as this are as rare as fairy dust … what McCaughrean has done is nothing short of miraculous. It’s enough to make you believe in fairies.

Philip Arlagh Gaurdian

I loved Peter Pan in Scarlet by Geraldine McCaughrean, I can’t think of another who paints so vividly with words. She is an incredible writer.
