J M Barrie Peter Pan and Mary 1929 children's edition Charles Scribner's Illustrated by Mabel Lucie Attwell

Peter and Wendy, often known simply as Peter Pan, is a work by J. M. Barrie. It tells the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous yet innocent little boy who can fly, and has many adventures on the island of Neverland that is inhabited by mermaids, fairies, Native Americans, and pirates. The Peter Pan stories also involve the characters Wendy Darling and her two brothers, Peter's fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the pirate Captain Hook. The play and novel were inspired by Barrie's friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family.
