PREFACE

[v]

Sir J. M. Barrie's delightful creation, "Peter Pan," has by this timetaken a secure place in the hearts of children of all ages, and thereare few nurseries in the land in which Peter, Wendy, Tinker Bell,Captain Hook and his Pirates, the Mermaids and Redskins, and theexciting world in which they lived, are not as familiar as the mosttime-honoured lore of fairyland.

The popularity of Mr. Daniel O'Connor's version of the story, issuedwith Sir J. M. Barrie's kind consent, and illustrated so charmingly byMiss Alice B. Woodward, has induced the publishers to[vi] bring out thepresent re-issue at a lower price.

The selections of music which will be found in it are included withthe permission of Mr. John Crook, the composer, and Messrs. Price andReynolds.
