Oggi, il narratore di questa storia è sposato, e non fuma più. Tuttavia, non riesce a non ripensare ai suoi tempi da scapolo, quando, insieme ai suoi compagni, fumava e venerava la miglior miscela di tabacco mai esistita, l’Arcadia. Rievoca così i tempi in cui con i suoi amici si tenevano svegli per raccontarsi le loro fantasticherie sull’amore, in cui scommettevano su quando una confezione di tabacco sarebbe volata via da davanti alla sua finestra, e in cui elencavano i danni del non fumare. Un’opera che è un inno alla stravaganza e all’originalità, oltre che una perla dell’umorismo surreale.

Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up or Peter and Wendy is a work by J. M. Barrie, in the form of a 1904 play and a 1911 novel. Both versions tell the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous yet innocent little boy who can fly, and has many adventures on the island of Neverland that is inhabited by mermaids, fairies, Native Americans and pirates. The Peter Pan stories also involve the characters Wendy Darling and her two brothers, Peter's fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the pirate Captain Hook. The play and novel were inspired by Barrie's friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family. Barrie continued to revise the play for years after its debut until publication of the play script in 1928.

Peter Pan and Wendy Illustrated

All children have a Neverland when they're young. Peter Pan ran away to live in his. J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan first captured audiences on the stage in 1904. Barrie then rewrote the play into a children's novel titled Peter and Wendy in 1911. This is that story, beautifully redesigned to once again bring the magical land of Neverland to life and to tell of the bold adventures of the boy Peter. Wendy Darling loves her life in the nursery with her brothers, Michael and John, and their nurse, a Newfoundland dog named Nana. And then there is Peter. Every child knows Peter. Of course they do. He lives with the fairies, pirates, and Indians on his island of Neverland, where no one ever grows up. One night he comes to the Darlings' nursery with the irresistible offer to take Wendy, Michael, and John away with him. To get to Neverland, Peter will teach them to fly.

Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens

Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens by J.M. Barrie. Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, is one of the immortals of children's literature. J.M. Barrie first created Peter Pan as a baby, living in secret with the birds and fairies in the middle of London, but as the children for whom he invented the stories grew older, so too did Peter, reappearing in Neverland, where he was aided in his epic battles with Red Indians and pirates by the motherly and resourceful Wendy Darling. With their contrary lures of home and escape, childhood and maturity, safety and high adventure, these unforgettable tales are equally popular with children and adults.
