Peter Pan
Peter Pan by J M Barrie is one of Puffin Classics' best-loved stories.
Peter Pan and Tinkerbell lead the three Darling children over the rooftops of London and away to Neverland - the island where the lost boys play. Magic and mischief is in the air but if villainous Captain Hook has his way, before long someone will be swimming with the crocodiles . . .

1885. He had a high reputation as a playwright, with productions

Review:
"Barrie wrote his fantasy of childhood, added another figure to
our enduring literature, and thereby undoubtedly made one of the boldest
bids for immortality of any writer. . . . It is a masterpiece."
