Items related to Peter Pan in Scarlet
In August 2004, the Special Trustees of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital launched the search for a sequel to JM Barrie's timeless masterpiece, Peter Pan. The Special Trustees own the copyright and other intellectual property rights to Peter Pan, and to mark the work's centenary, they authorized the creation of a new work that would share the same enchanting characters as the original, and bring as much pleasure to children and adults universally as Peter Pan has done. Fighting off fierce competition from over 100 other writers, Geraldine McCaughrean has been commissioned to write this official sequel. In her entry, the judges found something that captured the elusive spirit of the original whilst offering a fresh and astounding creative response. Like Barrie's story, it will appeal to readers the world over. (Large Print Edition)

Review:
[Praise for the novel, Peter Pan in Scarlet]: 'It's about adventure and bravery and cowardice and aching poignancy - and in this book McCaughrean has captured the lot. (THE DAILY EXPRESS)
The official sequel to Peter Pan needs to be an exceptional book, and that's exactly what we have in Peter Pan in Scarlet.... What McCaughrean has done is nothing short of miraculous. It's enough to make you believe in fairies. (PHILIP ARDAGH, THE GUARDIAN)
a spectacularly impressive work (THE RADIO TIMES)
it's hard to see how she could have done it better. (THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
By some mysterious process of osmosis, she has brilliantly mixed Barrie's preoccupations with her own, aping his engaging style but also adding to it; the result is a little masterpiece. (CRAIG BROWN, THE MAIL ON SUNDAY)
