About the book

"Peter Pan: [Peter and Wendy]" by J. M. Barrie is a work that began as a play in 1904 and became a novel in 1911. It tells the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous boy who can fly and never grows up. He whisks Wendy Darling and her brothers away to Neverland, a magical island inhabited by mermaids, fairies, and pirates. There, they encounter the Lost Boys and face off against the villainous Captain Hook, all while navigating adventures that blur the line between childhood wonder and danger.
