To die will be an awfully big adventure.Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, is one of the immortals of childrens 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.Peter Pan has become a cultural icon and symbol for escapism and innocence, remaining popular with both children and adults.In this collected edition, Robert Douglas-Fairhurst brings together five of the main versions of the Peter Pan story, from Peter Pans first appearance in The Little White Bird, to his novelisation of the story, the stage version, and unrealised silent film script. This edition contains a lively introduction, detailed explanatory notes, original illustrations, and appendices that include Barries coda to the play that was only performed once. About the Author J.
