About this listen

J. M. Barrie's timeless tale of the "boy who would not grow up".

Peter Pan is edited with an introduction by Jack Zipes in Penguin Classics.

When Peter Pan and his fairy companion, Tinker Bell, fly in through the window of Wendy's nursery one night, it is the beginning of an adventure that whisks Wendy and her brothers, Michael and John, off to Neverland. There, they will find mermaids, fairies, pirates led by the sinister Captain Hook, and the crocodile who bit off his leg - and still pursues him in hope of the rest!

Peter Pan originally appeared as a baby living a magical life among birds and fairies in J. M. Barrie's sequence of stories Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. His adventures capture the spirit of childhood - and of rebellion against the role of adulthood in conventional society. In his introduction, Jack Zipes sifts through the psychological interpretations that have engaged critics, explores the cultural and literary contexts in which we can appreciate Barrie's enduring creation, and shows why Peter Pan is fundamentally a work that urges adults to reconnect with their own imaginations.

Well told classic. It takes a bit to get into the known story but it was fun to relive. Brings back the childhood memories and let’s you know why it became a classic in the first place.

These books are so much better than the Peter Pan movies. The author maintains the childlike perspective through the voice of the narrator. The performance was amazing! The man who voices the narrator does such a good job with voicing all the characters in the stories.

Great story and narration
