J. M. Barrie
The enchanting story of a boy who wouldn’t grow up and the girl he promised to always remember One magical night, the Darling children––Wendy, John, and Michael––are visited by two mischievous denizens of Neverland, an island of the imagination where pirates prowl the Mermaids’ Lagoon and fairies live so long as children believe in them. Peter Pan and his loyal, lightning-quick companion, Tinker Bell, have come for Peter’s shadow, captured the previous night by Nana, the children’s Newfoundland nanny. The pair leaves not just with the shadow, but with Wendy and her brothers, as well, whisking them away to Neverland to join the Lost Boys in their war against the evil Captain Hook. J. M. Barrie created the character of Peter Pan to entertain a young family he regularly met in Kensington Gardens. Over the course of two novels and a play, he turned a whimsical idea into one of the most cherished literary characters of all time.

"I was surprised to see it was a lot like the cartoon without all the songs. I listen to the audiobook by Jim Dale and he made this book so much greater. Peter was much more selfish and sinister than I would have thought. I enjoyed how the narration of the book talked to the reader, pausing, asking questions. It was very interactive. The writing was magical and somethings were nonsense which I like very much. Another book I wish I had read before the movie which always seems to take away from the original."
"I've always loved the story of Peter Pan, in its many forms - from the Disney version, to Mary Martin's version, to the newer Peter Pan with Jason Isaacs, to the movie Finding Neverland. I read the original when I was a child and was horrified by the word "ass" and recently reread it. Still a great story, great read, and great adventure."

"Publicado originalmente: <a href="http://el-extrano-gato-del-cuento.blogspot.com/2014/08/jm-barrie-peter-pan-resena.html">El Extraño Gato del Cuento</a><br/><br/>3.5<br/><br/>La culpa es de Disney. De muchas formas la influencia de la película y la cultura pop que está alrededor de Peter Pan, estropeó mi lectura. Comentándolo en Facebook, al parecer no soy la única que esperaba alguna cosa más o diferente del libro.<br/><br/>Narrativamente me encantó, de haberlo leído antes hubiera resaltado aún más el trabajo de W. Davies en su novela debut, pero a diferencia de Matar a un ruiseñor, estoy segura hubiera apreciado más la historia de haberla leído en mi niñez. Me falta océanos de inocencia para conectar con los personajes. Más que la historia de Peter Pan, con lo que estoy obsesionada y fascinada es con la historia detrás de Peter Pan, Laia Soler hace un tiempo dedicó un video hablando sobre el escritor y lo que al parecer motivó la escritura del libro. Tengo un completo morbo por las tragedias reales, no llegan a conmoverme realmente, por lo que se me hizo mucho más difícil sumergirme en la trama.<br/><br/>Peter Pan no es un libro que me haya desagradado leer pero tampoco ha sido un libro que me haya dejado fascinada, lo que sí es que tengo muchas ganas de leer sus retelling. Tiger Lily lo tengo hace mucho en lista de espera y no lo empezaba porque primero debía leer este. A pesar de todo Peter seguirá siendo ese personaje fascinante para mí, aunque su libro no me haya conquistado del todo.<br/><br/><a href="https://twitter.com/EllieIntheHat">Twitter</a> || <a href="http://el-extrano-gato-del-cuento.blogspot.com/">Blog</a> || <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/EllaZegarra/">Pinterest</a> || <a href="http://ellie-in-the-hat.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> || <a href="http://instagram.com/ellieinthehat">Instagram</a>"
