Peter Pan (version 2)
J. M. Barrie
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
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.

Better than the other peter pan books, readers are piety clear and don't read too quickly.

So much better than the other versions!!
Good reading
Dylan Rudolph
I have no complaints with the way it was read, excellent reading. Just a warning for any other listeners though. It's predominantly females reading. I personally listen while at a loud working job and have trouble hearing higher pitched voices, so I thought I'd put that out there.
A strange tale
CB
My first time "reading" this book and I find it as fascinating and tragic as its main character. Well worth the listen for those who dare not grow up!
Well done
A LibriVox Listener
The reader in the first couple of chapters speeds through the lines way too fast, all other readers did a great job though!
Jewel
In the first chapter, a phone was ringing in the background and the first narrator is too fast
this story is adorable! and so well read!
