Tous les enfants grandissent. Tous, sauf un. Le roman de James Matthew Barrie adapté par Jean-Pierre Kerloc'h. Éric Pintus incarne avec force ces mots d'une drôlerie et d'une poésie incroyables.

J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan has enchanted audiences for well over a century with its celebration of the promise of an eternal childhood, as well as recognition of the wonder and joys of growing up. In his charming and resonant baritone, Alan Munro performs the timeless tale of Wendy Darling's experience with "the beautiful boy with a beautiful smile", the devil-may-care Peter Pan.

In the world of the Victorian Club, it does not do for a gentleman to be seen to take an interest in any member of the working classes. How dreadfully inconvenient then, when the narrator's waiter, begins to display alarming tendencies towards having a personality, a home life, emotions and fears of his own. The last thing any respectable gentleman should do is permit himself to be drawn into this other dubious world...let alone entertain emotions such as interest or pity for the underclass.

Her møder han Maimie Mannering, og de bliver hurtigt venner. Maimie vil blive hos Peter, men indser at hendes mor vil komme til at savne hende, og hun må vende hjem. Kensington Have er Peter Pans legeplads, men også en gravplads for de børn, der farer vild om natten.

At the heart of each of these great classic stories is an adoptee with an indomitable spirit who becomes the heroine (or hero) of her own life. "The bravery it takes for an unwanted orphan to forge their own path in life was as great when these stories were written as it is today," says narrator Alison Larkin, who draws on her own adoption experience to bring these stories to authentic new life.

DK Audio presents the beautifully adapted and sound-designed audiobook of 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 stand-alone novel in 1911 and since then has been memorably adapted for the movies, for television, and for the stage. Retold from the original by Michael Johnstone.

Peter Pan, the mischievous boy who refuses to grow up, lands in the Darling's proper middle-class home to look for his shadow. He befriends Wendy, John and Michael and teaches them to fly (with a little help from fairy dust). He and Tinker Bell whisk them off to Never-land where they encounter the Red Indians, the Little Lost Boys, pirates and the dastardly Captain Hook.

James Matthew Barrie (1860 – 1937) was a Scottish novelist and playwright, best remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan. Barrie’s short story The Inconsiderate Waiter is a humorous take on the British class system of 1898. At the Victorian Club, it is improper for an upper-class gentleman to be seen to take an interest in any concerns of a member of the working class. So when William, the narrator's waiter, begins to display signs of having a personality and feelings, the respectable gentleman experienced much discomfort.

Peter and Wendy (1911) tells the story of Peter Pan, the mischievous little boy who can fly. Peter befriends Wendy, John and Michael Darling and teaches them to fly, with a little help from fairy dust. Other characters in Peter’s world are the fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the "dastardly" pirate Captain Hook. Peter has a series of adventures on the island Neverland where fairies, mermaids, Native Americans and pirates live. Peter and Wendy remains a perennial children’s favorite, and adults also love the book.

Peter Pan, or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up or Peter and Wendy is J. M. Barrie's most famous work, in the form of a 1904 play and a 1911 novel. Both versions tell the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous yet innocent little boy who can fly and has many adventures on the island of Neverland that is inhabited by mermaids, fairies, Native Americans, and pirates. Peter has many stories involving Wendy Darling and her two brothers, his fairy, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the pirate Captain Hook. 

Fly away with Peter Pan to the enchanted island of Neverland where he and the three Darling children encounter pirates, Indians, fairies, and the Lost Boys. Barrie's magical classic story is a lesson in both freedom and responsibility and will delight listeners of all ages.

This is a diverting delight, a window on romance in literature. There are high lovers and low lovers, tragic lovers, comic lovers, and lovers who shouldn’t be doing what they are doing at all and certainly not then and there. There is even Fanny Hill trying not to discover what physical love is about when set upon by an old roué who has paid for the privilege. Though of special interest for lovers and their special lover’s day of St. Valentine, it is an amusing and sometimes surprising collection.

"I'm youth, I'm joy...I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg." The story of the little boy who refused to grow up has captured the imagination of generations of children (and the adults they grew into) since its publication in 1904. Peter Pan flies in through the bedroom window one night and teaches Wendy, John, and Michael to fly. He takes them away to endless adventures in the magical Neverland, where they meet the wicked Captain Hook and a host of other characters...

Peter Pan is an endearing and powerful tale of a very special journey of three 'everyday' children to a land of fantasy. Small listeners will easily identify themselves with the heroes of this magical tale. They will experience the meaning of true friendship and the bitter taste of disappointment, and they will take to heart the timeless struggle between the desire for adventure and the longing for a warm, peaceful and loving family home.

Peter Pan is a classic story. The Admirable Crichton is a classic play. And here, in this volume, are two classic short stories. They are certainly of their day and perfect pieces of their craft. And really that’s not surprising, for JM Barrie was a writer of great note. Short stories are often overlooked as being the poor, under-developed relatives of greater works. But from writers of the calibre of Barrie, this is just not so. He creates stories and characters that drive, meld, and develop into narratives that in their numerically shorter length are, in fact, the perfect length.

A fabulous collection of stories about the fabulously rich, the grindingly poor, sudden wealth, odd inheritances, greed and generosity.
