Peter Pan cover

This classic tale follows Peter Pan and the Darling children as they embark on magical adventures in Neverland, facing pirates and fantastical creatures.

In Peter Pan, the enchanting tale begins when Peter Pan loses his shadow in the nursery of the Darling children. This seemingly small event sets off a chain reaction that alters the course of their lives forever. Peter, along with the spirited fairy Tinkerbell, whisk the Darling siblings—Wendy, Michael, and John—away to the magical realm of Neverland. Here, adventure awaits as they join Peter's band of Lost Boys, embarking on a journey filled with wonder and excitement.

Neverland is a place where imagination reigns supreme, and the children soon find themselves amidst captivating encounters with mermaids, brave princesses, and the infamous Captain Hook. The ticking crocodile adds an element of suspense, reminding them that danger lurks around every corner. The story beautifully explores themes of childhood innocence, the longing for adventure, and the bittersweet nature of growing up.

This special Puffin Classics edition not only celebrates J.M. Barrie's timeless narrative but also pays homage to the artistry of William Morris through its stunning cover design. Illustrator Liz Catchpole has masterfully woven patterns from the V&A archive into new artwork, creating a visual treat that complements the rich storytelling of Peter Pan. Readers are invited to lose themselves in a world where faith, trust, and a sprinkle of pixie dust can lead to the most extraordinary adventures.
