"Peter Pan first flew across a London stage in 1904, overwhelming audiences with its tale of a magical boy who never grows up, who lures young Wendy and her brothers to Neverland, where they meet pirates, Indians, fairies, and the Lost Boys. J. M. Barrie revised and expanded the story and published it as this novel. For children, it remains a marvelous mix of fantasy and adventure, featuring unique, imaginative characters who frisk and frolic in an enchanting land. For adults, the story of Peter and the Lost Boys works on a much deeper level, speaking to them about the inevitable loss of childhood and the ability to fly. The climactic duel between Peter Pan and Captain Hook is both a swashbuckling romp and a moving metaphor for the complex, poignant struggle between innocent but irresponsible youth and tainted but dependable maturity."

Biographisches: "J. M. Barrie (1860-1928) was a playwright and novelist who is best known for his Peter Pan stories." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: October 1, 2003 A number of classic children39" Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Elementary-aged children will enjoy spending an afternoon in Never Neverland with Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, the magic fairy, and their enemy, Captain Hook. They'll learn how to fly along with Wendy, John and Michael, as long as they believe. The St. Charles Players have done another exemplary job with this performance. Most of the dozen or so parts are well cast, the only notable exception being Peter Pan himself. A young girl reads this part, and it's barely distinguishable from Wendy's. We all need this delightful reminder to never grow up and keep believing! A.G.H. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine"
