We’re exceedingly pleased to announce the acquisition of rights for Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Originally published as a Hugo Award-winning short story and later expanded into a Nebula Award-winning novel, it explores themes of identity, intelligence, friendship, and the ethics of scientific experimentation.

In this month’s edition, we’re looking back at what we’ve been working on since our last update, including progress reports on Peter Pan, our next book, and Weird., our upcoming fine press collection of weird fiction. Oh, and an update on our first non-public domain book.

Last year was Conversation Tree Press’ first official year, and we’re incredibly grateful for the support that helped to make it a resounding success. As I’ve mentioned before, the Press is my full time job, and being able to come to work every day and do what I love is truly a gift, so thank you.

While we’re not quite ready to share the titles or artwork of the other books we have in production, we are elated to announce future editions will feature richly imaginative artwork from the following award-winning artists - Tom Kidd, Marc Castelli, Petar Meseldžija, Dave McKean, Omar Rayyan, and Vladimir Zimakov.

The Standard, Deluxe and Lettered states of our letterpress-printed, limited edition of Peter Pan will go on sale at 12pm ET on October 26th 2022. This post includes details on time zones, shipping, rights, purchase limits, and payment options.

On the evening of 27th December, 1904, Nina Boucicault took the stage at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London’s West End for the very first theatre performance of Peter Pan. Her costume, designed by William Nicholson, was made to resemble “autumn leaves and cobwebs,” featuring crimson, burgundy, brown and olive. Our Lettered State, it’s enclosure and ephemera, draws inspiration from this original Peter Pan design.
