Generations of readers have traveled to Neverland and all the secret places of a child's heart. A story rich in adventure, humor, and sadness, J.M. Barrie's masterpiece remains a stirring call to flights of imagination.

With a magic and emotional appeal unmatched by any other story, Barrie’s Peter Pan speaks directly to childhood’s dreams and desires with an imaginative genius that evokes both laughter and tears. Peter, the boy would wouldn’t grow up; Nana, the Darling children’s nurse and pet Newfoundland; deliciously dreadful Captain Hook, who is stalked by a crocodile with a clock in his stomach; and Tinker Bell, “quite a common fairy,” who swears like a sailor and is murderously jealous—these characters of startling originality are rich, funny, mischievously insightful, and a joy to read about again and again. The result is a masterpiece of literature that has been working its timeless wonderment on us since it first appeared.

作者简介

詹姆斯·巴里，1860年5月9日生于苏格兰基里缪尔的一个纺织工人家庭，是十个孩子中的第九个孩子。

1882年，巴里在爱丁堡大学获得文学硕士学位，并成了一名新闻记者。1885年他移居伦敦，从此走上了文学创作的道路。巴里的作品包括文集《古老轻松的田园诗》(1888年)和《瑟拉姆的窗户》(1889年)，以及散发着浓郁的伤感气息的小说《小牧师》(1891年)，后者使他成了畅销书作家。

1897年，巴里将《小牧师》改编成剧本，成了一名成功的剧作家。随后，他又创作了剧本《可敬的克赖顿》(1902年)、《妇人皆知》(1903年)和《彼得·潘》(1904年)。《彼得·潘》在1904年上演，之后每年的圣诞节期间该剧都要在伦敦重复演出。彼得·潘这个形象初次出现是在巴里的作品《小白鸟》(1902年)中，这个故事的第一个听众是巴里爱恋的西尔维亚·卢埃林·戴维斯夫人的儿子。后来，巴里将彼得·潘的故事写成了一本名叫《彼得和温迪》的小说(1911年)。

巴里后期最成功的作品是《亲爱的布鲁特斯》(1917年)。这部充满了梦幻的戏剧，又一次为伦敦的舞台带来了神奇和幻想。巴里于1937年去世，根据他的遗嘱，《彼得·潘》的版权赠给了伦敦的大奥曼德街儿童医院。

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) was a bestselling writer well before he created Peter Pan. His famous children’s plays grew from stories he had made up for the young sons of his friends Arthur and Sylvia Davies. First performed in 1904, Peter Pan was such a success it became an annual Christmas event. In 1911, Barrie novelized the play. Upon his death, Barrie left the copyright for Peter Pan to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in London.

Alison Lurie is thebestselling author of such novels as The War Between the Tates and the Pulitzer Prize–winning Foreign Affairs. She has also written extensively about children’s literature, including Don’t Tell the Grownups, Boys and Girls Forever, and, as co-editor, the Garland Library of Children’s Classics. She is F. J. Whiton Professor of American Literature Emeritas at Cornell University.
