Celebrating another chapter in JM Barrie’s legacy the charity is launching the new face of Peter Pan in the first illustrated edition of Peter Pan in Scarlet.
Acclaimed illustrator David Wyatt has created a new look for Peter Pan ensuring that the appearance of 'the boy who wouldn't grow up' will never grow old. David’s stunning illustrations accompany the text of Peter Pan in Scarlet, the official sequel by celebrated children’s author Geraldine McCaughrean.
This lavish new edition of Peter Pan in Scarlet has a reduced and simplified text, retold for a younger audience with Geraldine McCaughrean’s trademark aplomb. A stunning showcase of his incredible talent, David Wyatt’s breath-taking, full-colour art blurs the division between dream and reality to create a magical masterpiece. The new adventures, text and illustrations of Peter Pan in Scarlet will introduce a new audience to JM Barrie’s classic character and will help the charity raise funds to build the hospital’s New Clinical Building.
Dr Jane Collins, Chief Executive of Great Ormond Street Hospital says:
"We are delighted that JM Barrie’s characters and Geraldine McCaughrean’s words have been captured so imaginatively in David Wyatt’s illustrations and that this edition will continue Barrie’s literary legacy that will help patients in the future."
