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.

exciting, funny, dark and light at once

better than I expected and both playful and mature at one time. reminds me of Alice in wonderland, high praise.

A Classic For All Ages

This book is amazing! I had read some time ago in third grade but I don't remember the magic of it. The stubbornness of tinker bell and the carefreeness of Peter. I also liked that Peter says all the things about girls being smarter than boys. Nana was a really good character in my opinion. She made me laugh till I was black and blue. A great book I will read again.

Heart warming reading.

Lily Collins’s voice hypnotized me. I was entranced and carried on the wind to the the end.

I think I get its appeal but wow it seems backward

Even considering its time period, I just get a sense of it being backward in the book's thinking or morals. The movie about J.M Barrie's life makes it seem as though he wrote it to please and help some local children as much as mess with society of the day, which implies to me that it would have portrayed some things differently from society. With the exception of how openly loving Mr. & Mrs. Darling are toward their children and how accepting they are of all the Lost Boys coming to live with them, the book largely embraces the prejudices of the day. Then comes along the whole statement that children must be heartless to be able to believe in Neverland while insisting that they must also be pure and have an undying love or loyalty to Peter Pan. I admit that it may just be that I don't fully understand the meaning put to that word at the time this was written or that mearly it means as I originally thought that they must let go of their attachments to the real world, but that phrase just really bothers me. Children aren't naturally that way. Even Peter Pan occasionally showed his true caring nature from time to time. Could it be that since Peter Pan tried so hard to not show that side that he was declaring that's what it took to go there? Any which way I look at it, the phrase disturbs me and will forever ban this book from being thought of as a classic in my mind and heart. Lily Collins does a wonderful job narrating however.

Adoro essa história.

Eu sabia que ia gostar dessa história de ler essa história, acho que poder ouvir foi melhor ainda. Eu sempre gostei das adaptações para o cinema da história do Peter Pan, então fazer a leitura desse livro era uma coisa meio que essencial para mim.
A interpretação da Lilly Collins foi interessante mas poderia ter mais nuances. De qualquer forma adorei.
