Peter Pan, a timeless work of fantasy, unfolds in the magical world of Neverland, where Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn't grow up, leads a group of Lost Boys and the Darling children-Wendy, John and Michael-on a series of thrilling adventures. As they battle the villainous Captain Hook and encounter fairies, mermaids and wild beasts, they discover the limits of imagination and the inexorable passage of time. First published in 1911, Barrie's Peter Pan deftly blends whimsy with profound emotional depth, exploring the complexities of childhood, freedom and the inevitable responsibility of adulthood. Through vivid characters such as the daring Peter, the nurturing Wendy, and the sinister Hook, Barrie creates a world where dreams and reality collide, reflecting both the innocence of youth and the bittersweet reality of growing up. Rich in metaphor and adventure, Peter Pan has become one of the most beloved and enduring works of children's literature, continuing to captivate readers with its layers of meaning and timeless appeal.

J.M. Barrie (1860–1937) was a Scottish novelist, playwright and journalist best known for creating Peter Pan, one of the most celebrated works of Children’s Literature. Born in Kirriemuir, Scotland, as the ninth of ten children, Barrie’s early life was shaped by the death of his older brother, which deeply affected his family and his understanding of childhood. He studied at Edinburgh University and initially pursued a career in literature, writing for newspapers and publishing novels. Barrie’s early works focused on social issues, but it was in his plays that he genuinely found his voice. His most famous creation, Peter Pan, was first introduced as a character in his 1902 novel The Little White Bird before becoming the star of his 1904 stage play and the 1911 novel that made him an international literary figure. Throughout his life, Barrie remained fascinated by the themes of youth, imagination and the elusive nature of childhood. His friendship with the Llewelyn Davies’ family—who inspired the characters of Peter and the Lost Boys—was central to his work, as he sought to capture the wonder and sadness inherent in growing up. Barrie’s career was marked by critical acclaim and personal tragedy, but his legacy endures through his beloved works, which continue to inspire adaptations in literature, theatre and film.
