Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson Appearance and Signing at Walt Disney World November 13-14

Peter and the Sword of Mercy by Dave Barry and Ridley PearsonAuthors Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson will be offering a signing of their new book Peter and the Sword of Mercy at Walt Disney World on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14.

On November 13, they’ll be at Once Upon a Toy located at Downtown Disney’s Marketplace from 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm; on November 14,  they’ll be in the Magic Kingdom at the Main Street Gallery on Main Street, USA from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm. There will also be an early appearance on Saturday by Ridley Pearson only from 9 am – 10 am at the Main Street Gallery.

Peter and the Sword of Mercy picks up in 1901, it’s been twenty-three years since Peter and the Lost Boys returned from Rundoon. Since then, nobody on the island has grown a day older, and the Lost Boys continue their friendship with the Mollusk tribe, and their rivalry with Captain Hook. Meanwhile in London, Molly has married George Darling and is raising three children: Wendy, Michael, and John. One night a visitor appears at her door; it’s James, one of Peter’s original Lost Boys. He is now working for Scotland Yard and suspects that the heir to England’s throne, Prince Albert Edward, is under the influence of shadow creatures. These shadow creatures are determined to find a secret cache of starstuff which fell to London many centuries ago. The starstuff is hidden in an underground vault which has only one key: the Sword of Mercy, a legendary weapon kept with the Crown Jewels. Molly is determined to help, but when she suddenly goes missing, it is up to her eleven-year-old daughter, Wendy, to keep the starstuff out of the Others’ clutches. She has heard her mother’s stories of a flying boy named Peter Pan, and he may be her only hope in saving the world from a shadowy doom…

Must Have: The Mickey Mouse Treasures Now Available at Barnes & Noble for $15

Mickey Mouse TreasuresThe Mickey Mouse Treasures by Robert Tieman, manager of the Walt Disney Archives, is the third in a series of collectibles. This third volume focuses on Mickey Mouse himself, from his (and Walt’s) humble beginnings (and even a bit before that) to his worldwide popularity today. From films to merchandising, this book literally has it all — and that’s an understatement.

The oversized hardcover comes in a slipcase and virtually every page is adorned with lots of informational text and images of nostalgia from the Walt Disney Archives also contains a special treat — what the book calls enclosures. They are faithful reproductions of actual items throughout the years: from drawings to a brochure/map of Disneyland in 1955 to a booklet of official portraits of Mickey by Imagineer John Hench to a Walt Disneys Studios ID to a Fantasia program to a working ‘magic film palette’ and more. Even the most mundane of items are often the most interesting. Take for example the card on which Walt would track the cash prizes he would give his employees for suggesting gags.

The photos are just amazing as well and include a rare color photograph of Mickey and Minnie greeting a guest at Disneyland in 1955 and even photos of Mickey making his first public appearances in 1931 (now that was a new one to me!).

Mickey Mouse Treasures

So for whatever reason, Barnes and Noble has categorized this collectible as a Bargain book and marked the price down almost 80% from its original cost of $60. Although this is the newest book in the series, the other two volumes are priced much closer to the $60 MSRP mark and no other book reseller appears to be making this huge cut. If you follow us on twitter or facebook, then you already know we’ve been reporting this incredible offer for hours now and we are pleased to say that our efforts have caused B&N.com to run out of the book in inventory. That said, there appears to be plenty of local brick & mortar stores that have the book in stock and you can use the inventory locator here to try to find one near you. So don’t even bother finishing reading this article, go out and get one now (unless the store is closed, then wait until tomorrow. First thing!)
