A lovely new edition of the famous story - written after the play
(which is now appearing on Broadway). The story is carried beyond
the action of the play as Mrs. Darling is disposed of in a
sentence, Wendy grows up, marries and has a daughter who takes care
of Peter's spring house cleaning now that Wendy has become caught
up in the tragic earth-bound disenchantment of adulthood. And
Wendy's daughter, too, grows up and has a daughter who visits Peter
in Neverland - "and thus it will go on, so long as children are gay
and innocent and heartless". (Kirkus Reviews)
As well as being the author of the greatest of all children's
plays, Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie also wrote sophisticated social
comedy and political satire. 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.
