This is the breakthrough work of the celebrated British author James Barrie.
It mainly recounts the adventures of Wendy, Peter Pan, and several other children on the magical island. The story creates a fairy-tale world children long to visit: Neverland, a place of pure, natural innocence.
The thoughts and actions of Peter Pan, who “never wants to grow up,” give vivid voice to what children feel.
Since its premiere in 1904 caused a sensation that emptied the streets, Peter Pan has remained a magical play staged around the world every Christmas, a New Year gift for children that has never grown old. It has been made into films many times and translated into numerous languages.
Peter Pan, the boy who refuses to grow up, is a familiar figure throughout the Western world and a symbol of eternal childhood and an endless spirit of adventure.
