Peter and Wendy (1911), also known simply as Peter Pan, is J. M. Barrie’s beloved children’s novel about the boy who refuses to grow up. The story follows Peter Pan as he whisks Wendy Darling and her brothers to Neverland, where they encounter fairies, pirates, mermaids, and the villainous Captain Hook. Beneath the whimsical adventure lies a poignant meditation on childhood, memory, and the bittersweet nature of growing up. Barrie’s writing is both playful and poetic, capturing the magic of imagination and the complexity of human emotion. Peter and Wendy remains a timeless classic of children’s literature.
