I am old, Peter. I am ever so much more than twenty. — Wendy Moira Angela Darling (Peter and Wendy•)
- Peter and Wendy
- “Peter and Wendy” is the novel form of J. M. Barrie’s wonderful play, “Peter Pan”.
- Peter Pan, or, The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up

- A Fistful of Barrie
- Peter Pan and other works of J. M. Barrie combined into one file for use on a portable device.
- The Little White Bird
- An earlier work of Barrie’s that also involves Peter Pan and Kensington Gardens. Less sarcastic than Peter and Wendy.

More Information
- Peter and Wendy• (paperback)
- This is a romantically sarcastic story that is funny and touching, and insightful to boot. I highly recommend it. (J. M. Barrie)
- Hook• (DVD)
- Peter Pan grew up and became a corporate raider with two kids. If this were a true extension of Peter Pan, he probably has two mistresses on the side and he might be a serial killer. But instead he’s just a poor imitation of a business geek.
- Inventing Wonderland• (hardcover)
- A book investigating the culture and individuals that produced some of our best children’s literature: J.M. Barrie, Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, Kenneth Grahame, and A.A. Milne. That’s Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Wind in the Willows, and Winnie the Pooh. I have not yet read this book, but if you’re looking for assistance in your paper, book report, or thesis, the description indicates it might be useful. I have had one report, however, that it is “very inaccurate and just a confused rehash of old myth”, so caveat emptor. (Jackie Wullschlager)
- J.M. Barrie & the Lost Boys• (paperback)
- This is a fascinating collection of documents and historical bits about J. M. Barrie, his failed marriage, and his guardianship of the five Llewelyn Davies boys (who formed the inspiration for the Lost Boys). It includes quotes from letters from the boys to Barrie as they grew up, went to public school, and later to war. It’s an inspiring book. (Andrew Birkin)
