About the Authors Kenneth McLeish (1940-1997) was one of Britain's most respected and prolific writers, playwrights and translators. Born in Glasgow and educated at Bradford Grammar School and Worcester College, Oxford (where he studied Classics and Music under Edmund Rubbra), he taught for several years before turning full-time to writing in 1975. He is celebrated for translating all 47 surviving classical Greek plays into modern English, as well as major works by Ibsen, Feydeau, Molière, Strindberg and others. His translations were staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre and many other companies. He also produced numerous popular reference works including The Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide, Myth, and The Penguin Companion to the Arts in the Twentieth Century. Valerie McLeish (née Heath), a trained music teacher, collaborated closely with her husband on several music titles, most notably The Listener's Guide to Classical Music and the present volume. Their partnership combined Kenneth's classical scholarship and broad cultural knowledge with Valerie's practical experience of music education, producing books that are both authoritative and accessible to young readers. Illustrators and Design Designed by Ann Samuel. Illustrated by a team of talented artists: Carl Melegari, David Eaton, John Dugan, David Mostyn, Gary Rees, Tony Morris and John Woodcock. Picture research by Peta Hambling, Elisabeth Agate and Carol Cleal. The book is richly illustrated with a mixture of full-colour photographs, historical images, and lively, informative line drawings and cartoons that perfectly complement the text and appeal strongly to children. A bright, appealing copy of this classic Oxford children's music companion - ideal for collectors of illustrated educational books, music teachers, or anyone seeking an engaging introduction to the world of music for younger readers.

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. Jacket and illustrations by David Wyatt, calligraphy by Stephen Raw (illustratore). Signed by Author(s). …
