Produktbeschreibung
This is the original novelization of Peter Pan by the character creator himself, J.M Barrie! The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up was a play that received instant success in English theatres which George Bernard Shaw described as "ostensibly a holiday entertainment for children but really a play for grown-up people," suggesting deeper social metaphors in the plot. It has since been adapted into many pantomimes, musicals, motion pictures and animations. The play introduced the audience to the name "Wendy", which came about from Barrie's friendship with a little girl who called him "Friendy" but couldn't pronounce her Rs well. So please fasten your seatbelt, and prepare to fly with Peter Pan and his gang of Lost Boys as they embark on dangerous adventures in Neverland. Witness their encounters with mermaids, fairies, and pirates, and Peter Pan's struggle against his nemesis Captain Hook who is hunted by the ticking crocodile. But remember dear reader, you have to believe in fairies in order to save the iconically cute Tinker Bell from imminent death! "All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust." "The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it." "Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it."
