INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Charles Vess & Charles Vess. The classic Peter Pan story, in Barrie's original whimsical text, is reprinted here, matched in style and imagination by Vess's black-and-white chapter-head illustrations and periodic interior art. Peter is feral and swashbuckling, the pirates are satisfyingly piratical, and the children are at once brave and innocent. Vess's compositions are dynamic and alive; it's a pity there isn't more art.
