Fly away with Peter Pan to the enchanted island of Neverland! This first chapter book adaptation of the classic novel, originally published in 1911, tells the story of the boy who never grows up. And when they join Peter on his magical island, Wendy and her brothers are in for exciting encounters with mermaids, an Indian princess, and pirates! Let the amazing adventures begin!

All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.

"Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens" and "Peter and Wendy" combines the two main works from which we find J. M. Barrie’s most popular character, Peter Pan. In Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens we are first introduced to 'the boy who wouldn't grow up'. Following the success of this work Barrie wrote a stage play entitled "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up". It is upon that work which "Peter and Wendy", essentially a novelization of the play, is based. Readers both young and old will be delighted by this collection of fanciful and wonderful stories.

The Little White Bird is a novel by J. M. Barrie, published in 1902, ranging in tone from fantasy and whimsy to social comedy with dark, aggressive undertones. The book attained prominence and longevity due to several chapters written in a softer tone than the rest of the book, in which it introduced the character and mythology of Peter Pan. Those chapters were later published separately as Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens as a children's book.The Peter Pan story began as one chapter of a longer work and during the four years that Barrie worked on the book prior to publication, grew to an "elaborate book-within-a-book" of over one hundred pages.

When Peter Pan flies into the night nursery of Wendy, John and Michael Darling, he takes them on the journey—and the adventure—of a lifetime. Award-winning producer Dirk Maggs directs, Toyah Willcox stars as Peter Pan, with Ron Moody as Captain Hook, Roy Hudd as Smee and June Whitfield as Mrs. Darling, along with stunning sound effects and specially composed music.
