J. M. Barrie first created Peter Pan as a baby, living in secret with the birds and fairies in the middle of London, but as the children for whom he invented the stories grew older, so too did Peter, reappearing in Neverland, where he was aided in his epic battles by the motherly and resourceful Wendy Darling. Since then Peter Pan has become a cultural icon and symbol for escapism and innocence, remaining popular with both children and adults. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this collected edition, Robert Douglas-Fairhurst brings together five of the main versions of the \u003cem\u003ePeter Pan\u003c\/em\u003e story, from Peter Pan's first appearance in \u003cem\u003eThe Little White Bird\u003c\/em\u003e, to his novelisation of the story, the stage version, and unrealised silent film script. This edition contains an introduction and notes, detailed explanatory notes, original illustrations, and appendices that include Barrie's coda to the play that was only performed once. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
