Mrs. Darling dozes in the nursery as her children sleep. Suddenly,
the window bursts open, and Peter Pan, the boy who refuses to grow
up, flies in. Seeing a grown-up in the room, he gnashes his perfect
set of pearly baby teeth at her. The children’s nurse, Nana, a
Newfoundland dog, gallops in and chases the boy out the window,
slamming it shut with her paws. Peter escapes just in time, but his
shadow is not so lucky. Now it is trapped in the nursery, and
everyone knows he will come back for it. When he does, Wendy, John,
and Michael will begin the greatest adventure any siblings have
ever had. Peter whisks the children off to Neverland to meet the
Lost Boys, Tinker Bell the fairy, and Princess Tiger Lily.
Together, they wage fierce battles against the evil Captain Hook
and his dreaded band of ruthless pirates, whose only goal in life,
it seems, is to destroy Peter and his friends. Â

is too human to be allowed to stay in after Lock-out time, so he
flies off to an island which divides the Gardens from the more
grown-up Hyde Park - Peter's adventures, and how he eventually
meets Mamie and the goat, are delightfully illustrated by Arthur
Rackham.

Margaret Ogilvy (1897) is a biography by J. M. Barrie. Although he
is more widely known as a popular storyteller whose Peter Pan books
are filled with the wit and wonder of history's greatest
fairytales, Barrie was also a gifted memoirist and biographer.
Margaret Ogilvy is the story of his mother and their life as a
family in Scotland. Written in tribute to her influence on his life
as a professional writer, Margaret Ogilvy was a bestselling book in
the United States. "On the day I was born we bought six
hair-bottomed chairs, and in our little house it was an event, the
first great victory in a woman's long campaign; how they had been
laboured for, the pound-note and the thirty threepenny-bits they
cost, what anxiety there was about the purchase, the show they made
in possession of the west room, my father's unnatural coolness when
he brought them in..." From the remnants of memory, J. M. Barrie
attempts to reconstruct his mother's life. He begins with tragedy,
the death of his older brother, an event which changed his mother
forever. From then on, he writes, "she got her soft face and her
pathetic ways and her large charity," but before she could turn her
loss into positive energy she struggled immensely with what would
now be called depression. As he tries to express his gratitude for
her sacrifice and support, Barrie crafts a loving portrait of the
woman who gave him life. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of J. M. Barrie's
Margaret Ogilvy is a classic work of Scottish literature reimagined
for modern readers.

Darling. When Peter asks Wendy to fly with him to Neverland, the

unforgettable, J. M. Barrie's classic tale is one of the greatest
works of children's literature of the last century. Its imaginative
scope, tender humour and vivid characters will enchant adults and

What Every Woman Knows (1908) is a play by J. M. Barrie. It ran for
384 performances at the Duke of York's Theatre in London and was
produced on Broadway as well, making it one of the most successful
plays of the year. Inspired by the women's suffrage movement,
Barrie sought to explore the intersection of gender and class in
Scottish aristocratic society. Adapted numerous times for film and
consistently revived on stage, What Every Woman Knows is an
enduring work of English theatre by an author whose reputation as
the creator of Peter Pan has largely overshadowed the rest of his
brilliant career. Behind every great man, an even better woman
makes his success possible. In J. M. Barrie's masterful play, a
Scottish family worried for their daughter's future seizes the
chance to marry her off to a promising young man. Having discovered
a young university student in their vast library, they offer to pay
for his education if he agrees to take Maggie's hand. Left with no
real choice in the matter, John Shand marries into the Wylie family
and attempts to launch a career in politics. As his reputation
grows-due in no small part to his wife's hard work-Shand begins to
forget his impoverished roots, dreaming instead of a future all his
own. Funny and deeply critical of the institution of marriage, What
Every Woman Knows is a story of romance, ambition, and humility
from a legendarily gifted Scottish storyteller. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of J. M. Barrie's What Every Woman Knows is a classic work of
Scottish literature reimagined for modern readers.
The Little White Bird (1902) is a novel by J. M. Barrie. Inspired
by his friendship with George Llewelyn Davies, the grandson of
writer George du Maurier, Barrie penned this heartwarming tale of
imagination and adventure featuring for the first time his beloved
character Peter Pan. Broken into short episodes, The Little White
Bird follows Captain W., a childless veteran, on his visits to
David and his family in Kensington Gardens. Through their
friendship, David receives an education in wonder, while the
Captain learns what it could feel like to be a father. Set in
Victorian London, the novel follows Captain W. on his long walks
through the city. With no family of his own, he finds comfort in
friendship with David, the son of a local governess. Enchanted by
the Captain's vibrant imagination, David loves most of all his
tales of Peter Pan, a magical boy who never grows old, who lives
with fairies and never says no to adventure. One night, the story
goes, a young girl is locked out of her house in Kensington Gardens
past dark. Scared and cold, she finds safety with Peter and the
fairies, who have gathered to celebrate life with a magnificent
ball. Written for children and adults alike, The Little White Bird
was the book that started it all, launching Barrie's career as a
popular storyteller whose tales of the present day are filled with
the wit and wonder of history's greatest fairytales. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of J. M. Barrie's The Little White Bird is a classic
work of Scottish literature reimagined for modern readers.

J.M. Barrie Comedy Characters: 6 male, 9 female Interior Set
Quality Street is a cup of exquisite comic delight. Set in England,
about 1800, it is alive with elegant humor and wit. There are
several maiden women in the action, some of them a bit sour and
curiously officious. But the one named Phoebe, with the plain face,
is a sparkling lass whose heart flutters for a bachelor by the name
of Valentine, who is expected on a visit. Sadly we learn,
Valentine, has come back not to propose to Miss Phoebe but to
announce his enlistment in the Napoleonic wars. And Phoebe and her
sister have met economic misfortune by teaching at a primary
school. Rejuvenated by his return, Phoebe in a carefree moment
discards her prim clothes and expression, and becomes a gay young
girl, extravagant with her smiles, as well as with her dances at
the military balls. The transformation is so complete that Phoebe
is mistaken for a fictitious niece. The deception increases the
merriment and produces many sudden changes of the plot. Valentine
discovers his love for Phoebe, and then fortunately discovers the
precarious plot in time to save it from the mischievous women.
Surely this is one of the most endearing and enduring of all
comedies.

The eternally youthful Peter Pan encounters Wendy and her brothers,
who decide to join him in Neverland and never grow old. Their plans
do not reckon with either the sinister Captain Hook or the
unsuspected dark side of perpetual childhood. Peter Pan's story
began as a play in 1904 and met with immediate success. The author
converted it into a novel in 1911 to similar acclaim. His story has
appeared on stage, television, live action film and animated
cartoon. Peter's adventures with Wendy take place in a glorious
world of imagination, where fairies and Wild Boys are boon
companions in swashbuckling conflict with wild beasts and pirates.
But in Peter and Wendy we can see another conflict, that between
the love of family and responsibility of the adult world and the
carefree, impulsive freedom of childhood. This is truly a tale to
be appreciated equally, yet differently, by both children and
grown-ups. This dual appeal, and the lasting, fundamental charisma
of Peter himself, have made Peter Pan both enjoyable and relevant
for each new generation. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Peter Pan is
both modern and readable.
