Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, is one of the immortals of children's literature. J. M. Barrie first created Peter Pan as a baby, living in secret with the birds and fairies in the middle of London, but as the children for whom he invented the stories grew older, so too did Peter, reappearing in Neverland, where he was aided in his epic battles with Red Indians and pirates by the motherly and resourceful Wendy Darling. With their contrary lures of home and escape, childhood and maturity, safety and high adventure, these unforgettable tales are equally popular with children and adults.

Peter Pan is a fantasy of extraordinary imagination, and a national treasure. It has everything: airborne children, mocking mermaids, bloodthirsty pirates, a homicidal crocodile with a nasty tick. In this novelisation of the original play, J.M. Barrie brings the cast and the action of the drama brilliantly to life on the page. We travel to the surreal world of Neverland, and meet the true characters of the story, as Barrie created them: Wendy Darling and Captain Hook, Tinker Bell and Tiger Lily, and above all, the enchanting, boastful boy who refuses to grow up. Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, also included in this edition, is the…

«Quando la prima volta, bambinotto già incrinato di voce, lessi Peter Pan di J. M. Barrie, me ne invaghii in modo insensato e furibondo; quando seppi abbastanza inglese, fu tra i primi libri che lessi e rilessi» scrive Giorgio Manganelli nel testo che apre questo volume. Peter Pan è il fanciullo che, fuggito dalla sua casa, vive nel mondo notturno dei Kensington Gardens, abitato da fate e folletti. Incontrerà Wendy, John e Michael, i fratellini che lo aiuteranno dopo varie avventure contro i pirati, sirene, pellirosse a sgominare il terribile Capitan Uncino. Uno dei più grandi e duraturi successi del Novecento viene qui presentato in una…
