Overview

"I'm youth, I'm joy... I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg." The story of the little boy who refused to grow up has captured the imagination of generations of children (and the adults they grew into) since its publication in 1904. Peter Pan flies in through the bedroom window one night and teaches Wendy, John and Michael to fly. He lures them away from their home and parents and takes them away to endless adventures in the magical Neverland, where they meet the wicked captain Hook and a host of other characters. Funny, charming, touching and incisively observant as to the ways of children and adults, Peter Pan is an unforgettable story.

Editorial Reviews

JUN 97 - AudioFile

Listening to the original story that has inspired so many storybooks and cartoons is a delightful treat. And this performance by Samuel West is superb. From the opening passages West’s charismatic voice draws listeners to immediate attention. He delivers deliciously imaginative character voices--Wendy, Hook, Smee, Peter and each of the boys and pirates. West’s brilliant storytelling brings out the more subtle side of Barrie’s enduring classic, not just the characters, but also the strong sense of fair play and personal virtue. The usual superb selections of music and a smooth abridgment make this family listening not to be missed. R.F.W. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine

8 Kids’ Book Characters Who are Basically Kidnappers

Ah, children’s literature, realm of innocent fun and magical beings who bring a sense of wonder and adventure to bedtimes everywhere. Assuming, of course, that your idea of innocent fun involves things like death, torture, monster attacks, and that most popular profession among characters in children’s books—kidnapping. The fact that many kids’ books sport seriously dark subtext isn’t […]

Brutal Youth Author and EW Senior Writer Anthony Breznican Talks Bullying, Prologues, and Peter Pan

Today marks the paperback release of Anthony Breznican’s Brutal Youth, which received a starred review from Library Journal and extraordinary blurbs from such heavy hitters as Stephen King and Gillian Flynn. Youth is an emotionally devastating book that centers on bullying at a Catholic High School in the 1990s, and the heartbreaking friendships forged out of that fire. A Entertainment Weekly who reports behind-the-scenes film news, Mr. Breznican graciously found […]

6 Classic Books That Would Make for Killer Gender-Bent YA

While I count down the hours till all my questions about the gender-bent Twilight can be answered (How closely does it track to the original? How effectively will Meyer convince us the swap doesn’t change the heart of the story? Did parents really spell it “Edythe” 100 years ago?), I’m daydreaming of other books I’m dying to see […]
