This is a Vietnamese language edition of the classic children's adventure Peter Pan. What made this find unusual is that this is at the public library (도립도서관) in Andong (안동시), North Gyeongsang Province (경상북도), South Korea (대한민국), and there is no noticeable Vietnamese community in this city. The second thing that got our attention is the cover. The image is a male figure who is smoking a cigar, carrying an open bottle of liquor, and walking through a rat-infested alley. We'll be honest: we haven't read a Peter Pan novel nor watched a Peter Pan play in a while, but we're not sure how this imagery fits into this memorable tale.
