Peter Pan (Peter and Wendy)

by J. M. Barrie, Francis D. Bedford (Illustrator)

Overview

This book J. M. Barrie was to the last generation what "Alice in Wonderland" was to the one before. Written with all that indescribable charm that has endeared him to thousands, it tells the story of how Wendy and her brothers flew to the "Never Never Land" with a boy who never grew up; of the adventures that there befell with wolves and redskins and pirates; of the building of Wendy's house, and the delight of the little boys who now had a mother at last. In short, it is the narrative of the play "Peter Pan " with its peculiar fascination heightened by new fantasies and containing much that no play could contain of Barrie's humor and feeling in comment and description. The story carries farther than did the play too, and ends more satisfactorily; but the main thing is that here in permanent form, within the reach of every one always, is the adorable Peter to crow at his own prowess, and the mischievous Tinker Bell, and the terrible Caplain Hook with his crocodile Nemesis, and the marvellous nurse Nana.

About the Author

Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet OM (9 May 1860 - 19 June 1937), more commonly known as J. M. Barrie, was a Scottish novelist and dramatist. He is best remembered for creating Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, whom he based on his friends, the Llewelyn Davies boys. He is also credited with popularising the name "Wendy", which was very uncommon before he gave it to the heroine of Peter Pan. He was made a baronet in 1913; his baronetcy was not inherited. He was made a member of the Order of Merit in 1922. Source: Wikipedia
