Perhaps the most revered and popular children's book of all time, Peter Pan tells the story of the mythical Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a mischievous forever-young scamp who lives on the Island of Neverland with his Lost Boys and a fairy named Tinker Bell. One night, Peter flies into the nursery of Wendy, John and Michael Darling and tempts the three of them to fly off on an adventure. The result is a legendary and unforgettable story from the pen of J.M. Barrie, one that has been adapted for the stage, screen and television countless times. Featuring Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook and his trusty mate Smee, these indelible characters have become some of the most iconic characters in all of children's literature. Barrie's playful and impish prose perfectly captures the cruelty, kindness and complexities of youth, as seen through the eyes of history's most famous flying orphan.

James Matthew Barrie (1860–1937) was born in Scotland, the son of a weaver and the ninth of ten children. His mother saw to it that he was educated, despite the family’s low income. He studied at the University of Edinburgh and spent two years on the Nottingham Journal before settling in London as a freelance writer in 1885. His short stories, essays, and novels were well received, and he began to gain a fine reputation as a playwright. His most enduring work is Peter Pan, which is based on stories he made up for children in his neighborhood.
Emily Brontë (1818–1848), sister of Anne and Charlotte, published only one novel in her career, Wuthering Heights. Though she died just one year after its publication and never knew of its success, the story of doomed love and revenge went on to earn its place among the masterpieces of English literature.
