J.M. Barrie had no children of his own but was the guardian of five boys for whom he created the tale of Peter Pan, first written as a play. He generously donated the royalties of his classic book to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in 1929. This edition will maintain a royalty to the hospital. Michael Foreman's numerous books for children have earned him widespread recognition as one of the world's leading illustrators. He has worked on a vast range of children's books, and has collaborated with Terry Jones on all of his books for children. He also writes and illustrates his own books, including War Boy and War Game, winners of the Kate Greenaway Award and Smarties Book Prize respectively, and After the War was Over. More recently he has illustrated The Knight and the Squire and The Lady and the Squire, both by Terry Jones. He has also illustrated the classic stories Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Wind in the Willows, both published by Chrysalis Children's Books.
