Reseña del editor:
"Agus mhúin sé dúinn conas eitilt agus d'imíomar leis go Tír na Deo mar a raibh na Foghlaithe Mara agus na Sióga agus na Fir Dhearga agus na Murúcha agus an Teach faoi Thalamh." Seo eagrán nua de "Tír na Deo", aistriúchán a rinne Máiréad Ní Ghráda ar ghearrinsint ar "Peter Pan and Wendy", an scéal iomráiteach do pháistí a cheap an scríbhneoir Albanach J. M. Barrie (1860-1937). Foilsíodh "Tír na Deo" den chéad uair in 1938. Fágfaidh Peadar Pan, Clingín Cloig, agus an Crúcaire, bithiúnach an scéil, a rian ar an léitheoir. Tá an draíocht agus an díobháil fite fuaite ina chéile sa scéal seo agus is iomaí cor agus casadh ann. Ní hionadh go bhfuil Wendy agus a beirt deartháireacha ar bís le dul ar thóir eachtraíochta i dTír na Deo. Is amhlaidh gur féidir scaoileadh go hiomlán leis an tsamhlaíocht sa tír iontach sin. --- "And then he flew us all away to the Neverland and the fairies and the pirates and the redskins and the mermaids' lagoon, and the home under the ground, and the little house." This new edition of "Tír na Deo" presents Máiréad Ní Ghráda's original shortened translation of "Peter Pan and Wendy", the celebrated children's story by Scottish writer J. M. Barrie (1860-1937). "Tír na Deo" was first published in 1938. Each of the primary characters-Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, and the villain of the story, Captain Hook-leave a lasting impression on the reader. Magic and mischievousness are intertwined throughout this story which results in many twists and turns along the way. It is little wonder that Wendy and her two brothers are ready for adventure in Neverland, a wonderful place where imagination knows no bounds.
Biografía del autor:
J.M. Barrie was born in 1860, the ninth of ten children of hard-working parents in Scotland's jute-weaving industry. Fascinated by stories of her own life told him by his mother, he was determined to write, finding work on the Nottingham Journal after graduating from Edinburgh University. In 1885, he moved to London as a freelance writer and successfully sold the Auld Licht Idylls, a volume based on his mother's tales. By the time Peter Pan opened on the London stage in 1904, Barrie had written more than thirty novels and plays, many autobiographical and several of them major hits such as The Little Minister, Quality Street and The Admirable Crichton. Knighted and awarded the Order of Merit he continued writing into old age. He died in 1937.
