This Oxford Children’s Classic features an introduction by Geraldine McCaughrean and other bonus material including insights for readers, facts, activities, and more . . . One night, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell whisk the Darling children away from their London home and through the sky to Neverland-a magical world of lost boys, fairies, and mermaids. It’s a dangerous place too, where evil lurks in the form of the dastardly Captain Hook and his villainous pirate crew.
From the lost boys to the mischievous mermaids and madcap swagger of Captain Hook, there’s so much I love about this book. But what gets me most, every time, is the heart-breaking ending – the disconnect between Peter and Wendy now that she is grown-up and he never will be. I’ve tried to capture something of that painful disconnect in the relationship between my mortal and vampire characters.
