Books about Town: Peter Pan

…Red Lion Square

‘Always try to be a little kinder than is necessary.’ This bench depicts Peter Pan by J.M. Barrrie.

'The National Literacy Trust is working with Wild in Art to bring Books about Town to the streets of London in summer 2014. Trails of benches shaped as open books, decorated by professional illustrators and local artists, will appear for the public to enjoy. It will be a unique opportunity to explore the capital’s literary connections, to enjoy art from some of the country’s top artists and to celebrate reading for enjoyment.

At the end of summer 2014, all the benches will be auctioned at an exclusive event in the Southbank Centre to raise funds for the National Literacy Trust's vital work to raise literacy levels in the UK.' booksabouttown.org.uk
