Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie


Peter Pan


The first book I finished in February, the thirteenth book for 2017, is Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. Anna and I listened to this together using the OverDrive app. I grew up with this story and I'm sure had it read to me and read it myself as a child. Anna had heard the story before but she was the one that really wanted us to listen to it together. She loved it.

Good Reads says that Peter Pan is a Series of seven works, which include three primary works.
I was interested to discover that Peter Pan was first mentioned in a book by Barrie called The Little White Bird. I haven't read this book yet but I hope to.
I was also interested to read that Peter Pan: The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up was adapted from a play performed in 1904
