Peter Pan (Warbler Classics Illustrated Edition)

J. M. Barries immortal Peter Pan has fascinated and delighted readers of all ages for more than a hundred years and the tale remains one of the most adapted works of all time. Buzzing with adventure and children who can fly, in Neverland Peter Pan defeats Captain Hook and rescues Wendy and the Lost Boys who return to live their lives while he spends his never-ending childhood in a mythical place populated by fairies, pirates, mermaids, and, from time to time, other children from the outside world.
