Peter and Wendy Produced by Chris Curnow, Lindy Walsh, Martin Pettit The Internet Archive for help with the illustrations and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Peter and Wendy" by J. M. Barrie is a classic children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the adventures of Peter Pan, a spirited boy who refuses to grow up, and Wendy Darling, a girl who symbolizes the transition from childhood to adulthood. Their journey leads them to the magical realm of Neverland, where they encounter various fantastical beings and face the trials of childhood innocence. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Darling family and their idyllic life in London, particularly focusing on Wendy and her brothers, John and Michael. The narrative sets the stage for the entrance of Peter Pan, who visits the Darlings at night and captures their imaginations. As Wendy learns about Peter's magical abilities and his world, the story hints at the loss of childhood and the longing for adventure and freedom that accompanies it. This captivating opening invites readers to reflect on the themes of imagination, adventure, and the bittersweet nature of growing up.
