Peter Pan made his first appearance (as a baby) in "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens" (1906). Subsequently the famous play in which he is the boy hero of Neverland was retold in prose in "Peter and Wendy" (1911). This volume prints both these original texts - which were Barrie's only works for children - with notes. This volume should be of particular interest to students of children's literature and "popular" literature, as well as parents.
