Peter Pan (Illustrated)

Originally titled Peter and Wendy, this classic work by J.M. Barrie was first published in 1911. It grew out of the characters Barrie introduced in his earlier plays and the novel The Little White Bird, reflecting the Edwardian fascination with childhood innocence and the transition into adulthood. The story was intended to capture the ephemeral nature of youth, famously set in a fantastical realm where children remain perpetually young.
