1 About this book
> The Young Visiters has long been established as comic masterpiece; many of its entrancing phrases have passed into common usage. It has been dramatised for the stage and television and made into a musical. This classic story of life and love in late Victorian England as seen from the nursery window has been in print ever since it was first published in 1919, nearly thirty years after it was written by the nine year-old Daisy.
>Now an entirely new edition of The Young Visiters has been produced. It has been illustrated with drawings by Posy Simmonds which are as enchanting and witty as the story. The text has been transcribed afresh from the original and J. M. Barrie's famous preface, written with all the authority of the author of Peter Pan, has been retained.
Good for readers who want: humor, a love story, and a short read.
