James Barrie

Peter Pan belongs to the class of children's literature that adults enjoy to read, such as The Wind in The Willows and Winnie the Pooh. J. M. Barrie was a genius, and had a knack for writing things that make sense to the heart, although they might not be explicable to the mind. Peter Pan is a book about a boy who never wants to grow up and lives on an island called Neverland which is a fantasy world. Peter found Wendy and her brothers and brought them to Neverland where Wendy plays mother to Peter and the lost boys. A favorite part of the book was when Hook fought Peter. It was like war--the lost boys and Peter versus Hook and his men. Peter came out on top, he fought to the death. He said Hook or me this time. It was Hook who died. People who like fantasy and adventure will enjoy this book. It has fairies, mermaids, and pirates and it's adventurous because Peter goes on constant adventures.

Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens

"Peter Pan" is a classic tale enjoyed by children for more than 100 years, although these days, it is better known through various movie adaptions that have been made from it. And yet, as they say, the 'book is better than the movie.' Why? Because movie makers are notorious for making changes to the books they are based on, and these changes tend to take away from the magic the author poured into the original. It is unfortunately the case that with "Peter Pan," even the book has been adapted many times, too. Well, this is your chance to read the tale as it was originally written with its original illustrations, drinking in the magic that started it all. With even the cover being inspired by the original, this edition is about as close as you can get to capturing the original thrill of "Peter Pan." "Peter Pan" was originally published in 1911 by J. M. Barrie with the title, "Peter and Wendy." This edition is carefully constructed from that original text. It also contains the original illustrations by F. D. Bedford.

Peter and Wendy James Matthew Barrie

This is the original novelization of Peter Pan by the character creator himself, J.M Barrie! The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up was a play that received instant success in English theatres which George Bernard Shaw described as "ostensibly a holiday entertainment for children but really a play for grown-up people," suggesting deeper social metaphors in the plot. It has since been adapted into many pantomimes, musicals, motion pictures and animations. The play introduced the audience to the name "Wendy", which came about from Barrie's friendship with a little girl who called him "Friendy" but couldn't pronounce her Rs well. So please fasten your seatbelt, and prepare to fly with Peter Pan and his gang of Lost Boys as they embark on dangerous adventures in Neverland. Witness their encounters with mermaids, fairies, and pirates, and Peter Pan's struggle against his nemesis Captain Hook who is hunted by the ticking crocodile. But remember dear reader, you have to believe in fairies in order to save the iconically cute Tinker Bell from imminent death! "All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust." "The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it." "Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it."

Peter and Wendy (illustrated)

Peter Pan es un niño volador que, acompañado del hada Campanilla, invita a la niña Wendy y a sus dos hermanos a visitar volando la isla de Nunca Jamás y conocer a los Niños Perdidos que viven con él, con la intención de que Wendy sea la mamá de todos ellos. En la isla también viven los piratas liderados por el Capitán Garfio, a quien Peter cortó la mano y se la dio a comer a un cocodrilo que lo persigue desde entonces. Al llegar, los niños construyen encantados una casa para Wendy, que ejerce su papel de madre amorosa, contando cuentos, dando medicinas y poniendo normas. Tras varias aventuras en la isla, Garfio captura a los niños justo cuando Wendy los había convencido, con el enfado de Peter, para volver y ser adoptados por su familia. Al enterarse del rapto, Peter acude a rescatarlos y vence a Garfio en la lucha final, entregándoselo al cocodrilo. Después vuelven todos a casa, donde son adoptados, excepto Peter, que no quiere crecer y decide regresar a la isla, prometiendo volver para llevarse a Wendy cada primavera.

The Call of the Cat Basket is the third book to feature Theodore, York's rather reluctant feline detective. In hot pursuit of escaped convict Milton Macavity, Theodore is soon reduced to life on the streets. Will he be able to stop Bonfire Night ending with a bang and return to the safety of his cat basket?

The Call of the Cat Basket

Theodore is a detective with a difference. He's grey, overweight and has an insatiable appetite for tuna... With many references to classic Hitchcock films, Rear Garden is a comic romp through the leafy residential suburbs of York, leaving many a bloody footprint (and paw print) on the well-trimmed lawns.

The Cat Who Knew Too Much

Rear Garden
