B>J.M. Barrie''s classic tale of the "boy who would not grow up"/b>br>br>Peter Pan originally appeared as a baby living a magical life among birds and fairies in J.M. Barries sequence of stories, b>Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens/b>. His later role as flying boy hero was brought to the stage by Barrie in the beloved play b>Peter Pan/b>, which opened in 1904 and became the novelb>Peter and Wendy/b> in 1911. In a narrative filled with vivid characters, epic battles, pirates, fairies, and fantastic imagination, Peter Pans adventures capture the spirit of childhood--and of rebellion against the role of adulthood in conventional society.br>br>This edition includes the novel and the stories, as well as an introduction by eminent scholar Jack Zipes. Looking at the man behind b>Peter Pan/b> and sifting through the psychological interpretations that have engaged many a critic, Zipes explores the larger cultural and literary contexts in which we should appreciate Barries enduring creation and shows why b>Peter Pan/b> is a work not for children but for adults seeking to reconnect with their own imagination.br>br>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
