He offers such a wealth of firsthand information that the book holds up 25 years after it was first published (it was reissued last year) and becomes a rich complement to the film. Beautifully designed, the book reproduces letters and diary entries from Barrie ...

Barrie and the Lost Boys,  has been granted a timely reissue. [It] digs up some astounding entries from Barrie’s private notebooks.

Barrie and the Lost Boys, though more than a quarter-of-a-century old, continues to stick as firmly to Barrie’s identity as the shadow that Wendy sews back onto Peter." —Mark Bostridge, Independent on Sunday Show Less
