Peter Pan

James Matthew Barrie 1860–1937 — Scottish playwright and novelist. One of his most famous characters — Peter Pan — is a boy who decided never to grow up. The fairy tale about Peter Pan has captured readers all over the world: it has been translated into different languages, staged in theaters, and adapted into films. Peter Pan lives on the island of Neverland, which can only be reached by children. One day, Wendy, John, and Michael set foot on the land of the magical island. Spending days in this wonderful place with Peter Pan is fun and good, but time passes, and the kids have no intention of returning home. And the farther they go, the closer trouble creeps up… The text of the fairy tale is presented in a classic retelling by Irina Tokmakova, winner of the State Prize of the Russian Federation for works for children and youth.
