Overview
Overview
Mrs. Darling dozes in the nursery as her children sleep. Suddenly, the window bursts open, and Peter Pan, the boy who refuses to grow up, flies in. Seeing a grown-up in the room, he gnashes his perfect set of pearly baby teeth at her. The children's nurse, Nana, a Newfoundland dog, gallops in and chases the boy out the window, slamming it shut with her paws. Peter escapes just in time, but his shadow is not so lucky. Now it is trapped in the nursery, and everyone knows he will come back for it. When he does, Wendy, John, and Michael will begin the greatest adventure any siblings have ever had. Peter whisks the children off to Neverland to meet the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell the fairy, and Princess Tiger Lily. Together, they wage fierce battles against the evil Captain Hook and his dreaded band of ruthless pirates, whose only goal in life, it seems, is to destroy Peter and his friends.

An excellent book to return to even after it's too late to live in Neverland
Stefanie W. - 1 year 2 months agoThis is one of many books on my shelf that I have re-read more than once. While the story of Peter Pan is well known from the various book and movie adaptations, the original novel in its unabridged form is by far the best. The manner in which J.M. Barrie addresses the audience and describes the story is quite funny. I found myself laughing aloud with the asides written to me, the reader. Plus, in this original format, you get to hear the story of the Neverbird which is both funny and sweet. Reading this as a woman in her twenties, I took different things from this story then I did when I had re-read this at 18. Now I can empathize more with the adults in the book while still remembering what it was like to never want to grow up. Pick this book up again and enjoy. You won't be disappointed.
