Considered a masterpiece since its first appearance on stage in 1904, Peter Pan is J. M. Barrieās most famous work and arguably the greatest of all childrenās stories. While it is a wonderful fantasy for the young, Peter Pan, particularly in the novel form Barrie published in 1911, says something important to all of us. Here āthe boy who wouldnāt grow upā and his adventures with Wendy and the lost boys in the Neverland evoke a deep emotional response as they give form to our feelings about parents, boys and girls, the unknown, freedom, and responsibility. Humorous, satiric, filled with suspenseful cliff-hangers and bittersweet truths, Peter Panworks an indisputable magic on readers of all ages, making it a true classic of imaginative literature.
