1Peter Pan (version 2)

By J. M. Barrie

In both the play and the novel, Peter often visits the "real world" of London to listen in on bedtime stories told by Mary Darling to her children. One night, Peter is spotted, and while trying to escape, he loses his shadow. On returning to claim his shadow, he wakes Mary's daughter, Wendy Darling. When Wendy succeeds in re-attaching his shadow to him, Peter takes a fancy to her and invites her to Neverland to be a mother to his gang of Lost Boys, the children who are lost in Kensington Gardens. Wendy agrees, and her brothers John and Michael go along. The dangerous and magical flight to Neverland is followed by many adventures. <BR><BR> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_and_Wendy#Copyright_status">Information about copyright status.</a>

4Admirable Crichton

By J. M. Barrie

From the author of Peter Pan:<br><br> Lord Loam, a British peer, considers class divisions to be artificial. He promotes his views during tea-parties where servants mingle with his aristocratic guests, to the embarrassment of all. Crichton, his butler, particularly disapproves of this.<br><br> Loam, his family, a maid, and Crichton are shipwrecked on a deserted tropical island. The resourceful Crichton is the only one of the party with any practical knowledge. Eventually, social roles are reversed, and Crichton becomes the governor.

8Peter Pan (version 3 Dramatic Reading)

By J. M. Barrie

"All children, except one, grow up,” begins J. M. Barrie's most famous novel. Barrie then proceeds to tell the story of that one extraordinary exception, Peter Pan, who lives in the Neverland with pirates and fairies and is always having adventures. One night he appears in the nursery of the Darling children and the most marvelous adventure of all begins. Light-hearted though it seems in premise, Peter Pan is a sweet but melancholy tribute to the fleeting innocence of childhood that has endured as a beloved favorite of children and adults alike ever since its first publication.

9Dear Brutus (dramatic reading)

By J. M. Barrie

At a house in the country 8 guests are invited to enter a magical wood to see what might have happened had they made a different choice in life. Even though they are warned away from the wood, they take a chance and enter. The title comes from Shakespeare: "The fault lies in our selves, dear Brutus, not in our stars...," and summarizes the theme of this play: given a second chance, will people still make the same mistakes?

10Little White Bird

By J. M. Barrie

"A children's book, sharp social commentary and sad psychological thriller about a man's search for a sense of belonging. All in one amazing and lyrical collection. This is the first book in which Peter Pan starts to appear. His adventure in Kensington Gardens are first narrated here. Other than that, it offers a magical portrait of contemporary London, and a realistic tale of a family to which every one of us could have belonged." - Summary by Stav Nisser.

11Sentimental Tommy

By J. M. Barrie

"J. M. Barrie is most noted for being the author of Peter Pan, the beloved book about a child who does not want to grow up. The two Tommy novels, as they are collectively referred to, are also about a child who does not want to grow up. Yet, unlike Peter Pan, he has to. Tommy grows up in the slums of London at the end of the 19th century in difficult conditions. This book explores his boyhood. How would his childhood fantasies collide with the hard conditions in which he lives and the reality of his growing up? The Tommy novels are considered semi-autobiographical." - Summary by Stav Nisser.

12Tommy and Grizel

By J. M. Barrie

This book continues Sentimental Tommy, also in the Librivox catalogue. Tommy grows up and marries Grizel. But life is not only roses and rainbows. This book has all the elements of a good love story, but it is also a book about growing up and finding out your distinct voice in the world. - Summary by Stav Nisser.

This play does have Cinderella and a Godmother, Royalty, and glass slippers, but it takes place in WW1 and is certainly not your typical fairy tale! Produced on Broadway in 1916, it was made into a silent movie in 1925. - Summary by ToddHW <BR><BR>Cast list (in order of appearance):<BR> Mr. Bodie: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/167">Peter Yearsley</a><br> Policeman: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a><br> Cinderella: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11183">VivianWeaver</a><br> Gentleman: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10357">Mike Harris</a><br> Mrs. Maloney: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7026">Michele Eaton</a><br> Marion: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11193">Amy Deuchler</a><br> Man: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10789">Tomas Peter</a><br> Marie-Therese: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10995">April6090</a><br> Gladys: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10614">Leanne Yau</a><br> Delphine: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">Lydia</a><br> Godmother: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6281">Beth Thomas</a><br> Lord Mayor: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8425">Larry Wilson</a><br> King: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/9929">Zames Curran</a><br> Lord Times: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10789">Tomas Peter</a><br> Prince: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11305">Craig Franklin</a><br> One of the Steeds: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11193">Amy Deuchler</a><br> Queen: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10179">Sonia</a><br> 3rd Prize: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11193">Amy Deuchler</a><br> 2nd Prize: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11193">Amy Deuchler</a><br> Penguin: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/4174">Availle</a><br> Maid: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8883">Lydia</a><br> Dr. Bodie: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6281">Beth Thomas</a><br> Danny: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/174">Peter Eastman</a><br> Probationer: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10179">Sonia</a><br> Ellen: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10614">Leanne Yau</a><br> Narration: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/3645">MaryAnnS</a><br> Edited by: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a>

14Quality Street

By J. M. Barrie

Two sisters living on Quality Street set up and run a school for children after the local doctor heads off to fight Napoleon. Ten years later he returns, thinking that all the adventures have been his, and that the old life in Quality Street has waited, as in a sleep, to be resumed on the day of his return. Katharine Hepburn starred in a movie version made in 1937.

Before "Peter Pan" came "The Little Minister", J.M. Barrie's first published novel. This is not a children's book, but reflections on life in a remote village in Scotland. The story opens with the minister and his mother moving into the village of Thrums, where the minister must earn the respect of the villagers, threading his way through class differences, politics and suspicion of the travelling gypsies. But what would happen if the newly respectable minister of Thrums fell in love with a gypsy woman? And how will her secret impact upon them all? (Summary by Beth Thomas)

16Peter Pan (version 4)

By J. M. Barrie

Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn't grow up, steals Wendy and her brothers away to a magical world called the Neverland. They come face to face with a fairy named Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, savages, pirates, mermaids, a crocodile that ticks, and Peter's nemesis--Captain Hook! The book is filled with excitement, and wonder, and teaches that with happy thoughts, and a little help of pixy dust, you can fly! Peter Pan inspires children everywhere to believe! (Summary by pjcsaville)

17Stories by English Authors: London

By F. Anstey, J. M. Barrie, Marie Corelli, Beatrice Harraden, Arthur Morrison, Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch and Israel Zangwill

This book collects seven short stories by some of England's best turn-of-the-(last)-century's writers. The collection begins with the humor of J. M. Barrie, of Peter Pan fame. A later and equally humorous story is by Israel Zangwill, also widely known for his exposures of social and economic problems. The immensely popular Marie Corelli’s contribution is the last, and among the most moving. (NB: Though a less prominent writer than some represented here, Corelli was so popular that her literary sales exceeded those of Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells and Rudyard Kipling – combined.) </br> In short, these writers offer great variety as to style, tone and topic, ranging from breezy tales to poignant proofs of the kindness and grace that can underlie the deepest tragedies. But while diverse, these writers have in common that they clearly know and clearly express genuine emotional truth. They hold our attention by conveying their stories honestly. They have no need for the tricks and devices of melodrama, shallow emotionalism, or shocking plot twists. </br> This accomplishment – this evidence of high literary quality – is all the more impressive in historical and social context. They lived in a time of widespread suffering. Yet even as most of these writers begin by drawing our attention to terrible and extensive suffering (and go on by holding it there), they end by keeping our attention in writing clearly and convincingly about important things they really know - leaving us moved, convinced, and a little richer for the experience.</br> - Summary by Kirsten Wever

18Peter and Wendy (Version 2)

By J. M. Barrie

"Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up and Peter and Wendy are the stage play and novel (respectively) which tell the well-known story of Peter Pan, a mischievous little boy who spends his never-ending childhood on the island of Neverland, and his adventure with the ordinary girl Wendy Darling and her brothers. The story was written by Scottish playwright and novelist J. M. Barrie (1860–1937). It features many fantastical elements, including children who can fly, a magical fairy, and mermaids. It was first staged at the Duke of York's Theatre on 27 December 1904, then adapted by Barrie into a novel published in 1911, and since adapted numerous times for film and other media, remaining popular with generations of children and adults."
