Peter Pan

By: J. M. Barrie

Narrated by: Lily Collins

There are few characters in literature more iconic than J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. Originally introduced in 1902 in another Barrie novel (The Little White Bird), Peter's story was expanded as a standalone novel in 1911 and since then has been memorably adapted for the movies, for television, and for stage.

Now, actress Lily Collins (The Blind Side, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) brings new, youthful energy to Peter's magical adventures - her performance capturing the innocence and wonder of Barrie's original tale. Through Collins' voice you'll rediscover your favorite characters: Captain Hook, the Darlings, Tinker Bell, The Lost Boys, and a tick-tocking crocodile. And you'll fly along with Peter through Neverland - a place full of magic and adventure; a place where no one gets old.

Wonderful!

Lily Collins does a wonderful job reading this classic tale. I love this story! Listening to this makes me wish I hadn't grown up.

Lilly Collins' masterful performance!

Lilly Collins' performance was marvelous. Her joyous, happy voice made this audio version of Peter Pan so fun to listen to. I would definitely listen to any other audiobook by Collins. Fantastic job!

I wept at the ending .

I was totally engrossed in this story and actually forgot I myself am a " grown-up ". I actually cried a little at the ending. This is a wonderful book.

Overlook the flaws

It's so charmingly written, try to overlook the occasional mispronounced words. And blame the production people, not the actress.

Charming old tale

I enjoyed this little book. I find it interesting on what the cartoons choose to leave out. The creativity within this book was wonderful. How farias are born, how the dreams intertwine, etc. I enjoyed this one. If you’re looking for a classic, this one is short and sweet.

So good 😊

This audiobook was the best book I’ve ever listened to!

I would listen to this audiobook all day if I was able to

It was wonderful and worth the suspension

Wonderful!!! Lilly Colleen’s is amazing.
Love the story! I prefer they wouldn’t use so much language, I recommend this to children7 and older, there is tons of language that is very unnecessary, read with your child under adult supervision!!!!

Peter Pan

As always, I enjoyed the story of Peter Pan. I also enjoyed Lily Collins narrating it, her voice is soft and prefect for Wendy but worked for everybody somehow. My issue is this- who in the world let her say "mischievious" and TWICE?? The pronunciation is mischievous, ya know, as it's spelled. This is not open to interpretation. It sounds trivial but it really dampened her performance for me.

Wonderfully entertaining classic

Would you consider the audio edition of Peter Pan to be better than the print version?

Never read the print version

Who was your favorite character and why?

Peter Pan

What about Lily Collins’s performance did you like?

Exceptional, brought the story to life with the different voices.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this unabridged edition available on Audible as a deal of the day. In my dotage it was a great way to escape back to my childhood although I have never read this book before. I believe I was spoiled by Mary Martin flying through the air as Peter Pan in a musical play broadcast on television in the 1950's. Then of course the Disney animated version and later the movie Hook. I thought the author wrote a wonderful tale for children and a classic to be enjoyed again and again through the years. I enjoyed the youth of the narrator Lily Collins and she did a wonderful job with the different voices. Very well done and entertaining.

Lily Narrates Perfectly.

I have always been such a huge fan of Peter Pan, and this isn't the first audio book I've heard read of it, but I will say It is my favorite. Lily does such an absolutely brilliant job of telling Peter Pan I couldn't stop smiling. Her voice is calm and soothing, and fits the narration perfectly.
