For some 20 years at the beginning of the century J M Barrie enjoyed enormous commercial success with a wide variety of plays, but he is best known for Peter Pan. It retains its popularity today, both in the original and in adaptations. As well as being the author of the greatest of all children's plays Barrie also wrote sophisticated social comedy and political satire, much of it now newly topical. The Admirable Crichton and What Every Woman Knows are shrewd and entertaining contributions to the politics of class and gender, while Mary Rose is one of the best ghost stories written for the stage. Under the General Editorship of Michael Cordner, of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are supplemented with a scholarly introduction and detailed annotation.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

It was Friday night. Mr and Mrs Darling were dining out. Nana had been tied up in the backyard. The poor dog was barking, for she could smell danger. And she was right - this was the night that Peter Pan would take the Darling children on the most br eath-taking adventure of their lives, to a place called Neverland, a strange country where the lost boys live and never grow up, a land with mermaids, fairies and pirates - and of course the terrible, evil, Captain Hook. Peter Pan is undoubtedly one of the most famous and best-loved stories for children, an unforgettable, magical fantasy which has been enjoyed by generations.

One starry night, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell lead the three Darling children over the rooftops of London and away to Neverland--the island where lost boys play, mermaids splash and fairies make mischief. But a villainous-looking gang of pirates lurk in the docks, led by the terrifying Captain James Hook. Magic and excitement are in the air, but if Captain Hook has his way, before long, someone will be walking the plank and swimming with the crocodiles...

Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, is one of the immortals of children's literature. J. M. Barrie first created Peter Pan as a baby, living in secret with the birds and fairies in the middle of London, but as the children for whom he invented the stories grew older, so too did Peter, reappearing in Neverland, where he was aided in his epic battles with Red Indians and pirates by the motherly and resourceful Wendy Darling. F. D. Bedford's wonderful illustrations have been beautifully coloured by Barbara Frith, one of Britain's leading colourists.

Egyedülálló képeskönyvet tart kezében az olvasó, aki eddig jobbára csak átdolgozásokból ismerhette a felnőni nem akaró kisfiú, Pán Péter történetét. J. M. Barrie két kisregényének magyarul most először olvasható teljes fordítása egy különleges, ellentmondásokkal és humorral átszőtt világot tár elénk, ahol bármi megtörténhet. Ezt a korlátok nélküli fantáziavilágot elveszett gyerekek, manók, tündérek, indiánok és kalózok népesítik be, újabb és újabb kalandra hívva Pán Pétert és a fiatalabb olvasók generációit, no meg persze azokat az idősebbeket, akik jól tudják, milyen fontos, hogy felnőttként is megőrizzünk valamit gyermeki énünkből. A szerző, James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937) skót regény- és drámaíró. Edinburgh-ban tanult irodalmat, majd Londonba költözött. A londoni Kensington-kertben ismerkedett meg a Davies gyerekekkel, akik rendszeresen játszottak a parkban. Barrie a család jó barátja lett, és a fiúk szórakoztatására találta ki a Pán Péter-történeteket. A kötetet Simonyi Cecília illusztrálta. A Pán Péter illusztrációi napfényből és árnyékból szövődtek egy régi fotográfiai eljárás, a cianotípia segítségével. Ezt a technikát Barrie kortársa, Anna Atkins angol botanikus és fotográfus emelte a művészi grafika szintjére. A technika választását a felnőni nem akaró, árnyékát elvesztő főhős analógiája ihlette; az, hogy a Pán Péter-elbeszélések eseményei jelentős részben éjszaka játszódnak, már csak apró részlet, ami szépen illeszkedett a sötét ciánkékek spektrumába.
