The Story of Peter Pan

Written by James Matthew Barrie and Daniel O'Connor

Narrated by Edward Miller

Author Daniel O'Connor took the story from the original world famous and beloved play, with the approval of its author, J. M. Barrie; and shortened it into a book with music and illustrations. This shorter book treatment was published before Barrie wrote the longer novel Peter and Wendy, using the same plot and characters. You just never can get enough of Peter Pan!

James Matthew Barrie

J. M. (James Matthew) Barrie (1860--1937) was a novelist and playwright born and educated in Scotland. After moving to London, he authored several successful novels and plays. While there, Barrie befriended the Llewelyn Davies family and its five boys, and it was this friendship that inspired him to write about a boy with magical abilities, first in his adult novel The Little White Bird and then later in Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a 1904 play. Now an iconic character of children's literature, Peter Pan first appeared in book form in the 1911 novel Peter and Wendy, about the whimsical adventures of the eternal boy who could fly and his ordinary friend Wendy Darling.
