Peter Pan

The boy who refuses to grow up flies into the Darling children’s nursery one night and carries Wendy, John, and Michael off to Neverland, a place of mermaids, fairies, lost boys, and the vengeful Captain Hook. What begins as a children’s adventure of pirates and make-believe carries a quieter ache beneath it, the cost of never growing up and the childhood that parents and children both must lose. Barrie first brought Peter to the stage in 1904 and expanded the story into this novel, published in 1911 as Peter and Wendy. It has enchanted generations while hinting at something bittersweet.
