Illustrated by
Silke Leffler.
In this Swiss import, Peter, Wendy, Tink, Hook, and the crew have the appearance of somewhat sketchlike paper dolls; the "Redskins," including Tiger Lily (with feathered headdress and rosy cheeks), are all smiles throughout. Individually, the images have some appeal, but as a whole they're a little cutesy for the novel's darker themes.
