J.M. Barrie wrote plays and fiction, but is best known for Peter Pan and the stories surrounding the boy who refuses to grow up. Peter and Wendy follows Wendy, John and Michael Darling from London to Neverland, where they encounter Peter, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, Captain Hook and his pirates. The story combines nursery adventure and fantasy with darker ideas about memory, change and the cost of remaining permanently childlike. Barrie's earlier play and Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens develop related material in different forms. His writing can be whimsical, funny and unsettling at once. His work fits classic children's fantasy, nursery adventure and literary fairy tale, though modern readers may encounter dated racial stereotypes in some passages. Read more Less
