Peter Pan

By: J. M. Barrie

Narrated by: Lily Collins

Length: 4 hrs and 48 mins

Publisher's summary

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

Awesome 👏

The best part was when they went to the lagoon and saved the never 🦢 awesome 👏

classic, worth sharring/reading with the wee ones.

still a classic.

Audible puts a disclaimer at the end, however, for those who are soft in th head. Such that, it is an old story, and so the language is archaic (Oh my god, how droll). Also, lest you had lost sleep in worry--the views are not necessarily those of the narrator (you can now sleep well, knowing so). I mean really, how prosaic. That last insertions from the Audible studio almost ruin the whole thing--look now, it has made up the whole of my review.

If any Audible employees read this--remove that bit of tripe, at the end. It is rubberized protection nonsense & garbage.
