(Blue Apple Books, Oct. 23, 2012)
Peter Pan: a live television special on NBC in 2014!Lyrics from two beloved songs from Peter Pan are transformed into a magical picture book sure to enchant the musical’s legions of new and returning fans. Acclaimed songwriters Betty Comden, Adolph Green and Carolyn Leigh knew a thing or two about crafting songs that touch hearts and imaginations and endure for generations. They hit one of their many pinnacles with this pair of lovely odes to “a place where dreams are born” and the joys of flying—whether over a sleeping city or inside one’s very own bedroom.The Tony Award-winning actress Phyllis Newman, wife of the late Adolph Green, contributes a personal introduction to the songs. With this and luminous illustrations, including a lavish gatefold of the “flying” scene, this is an extraordinary book to give, to cherish, to share.
