From the Inside Flap
'All children except one, grow up.'
When Peter Pan flies through the Darling children's nursery window in search of his shadow, the scene is set for a classic tale that has captured the imagination of children and adults for one hundred years.

Wendy and her two brothers join Peter on a series of exciting adventures with the inhabitants of the magical island of Neverland: the Lost Boys, to whom Wendy becomes 'mother', the mischievous fairy Tinker Bell, the brave Redskins, the Pirates on the Jolly Roger - and their notorious leader, Captain Hook, whose destiny lies in the hands of a crowing boy and a ticking crocodile.

Dialogue made me cringe
This is a book of its time and I challenge any modern reader to not to experience a cringe at some of the attitudes expressed on its pages. Credit where it is due - a marvellous story - but some of these children are quite horrible little snobs by 21st century standards.
