The boy who wouldn't grow up Peter Pan has the power of flight and lives on a magical island.
But he is fascinated by Mary Darling's bedtime stories for her children and makes covert
night-time visits to their Bloomsbury home. One evening he loses his shadow and after Mary's
daughter Wendy helps him reattach it he invites her to fly away with him on an extraordinary
adventure. In addition to the famous 1911 novel Peter and Wendy which tells the familiar
adventures of Peter Pan in Neverland and popularized the characters of Tinkerbell and Captain
Hook this volume contains the celebrated stage version on which Peter and Wendy is based as
well as Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens in which Peter Pan is a seven-day-old infant who
consorts with birds and fairies and travels down the Serpentine in a thrush's nest.
