The second part reveals the origins of Peter Pan, who leaves the human world as an infant to live among the birds and fairies of Kensington Gardens. Peter’s adventures with magical beings, his goat, the little house, and encounters with intruders bring whimsy and satire. Comparisons with animals and playful episodes highlight Barrie’s imaginative storytelling. Alongside fantasy, the narrative weaves in personal reflections, social portraits, and even a cricket match, grounding the magic in everyday life. The book concludes with a dedication that combines affection, humor, and literary reflection, leaving a lasting impression of wonder.

인물정보

저자(글) J. M. Barrie

James Matthew Barrie(1860–1937) was a Scottish playwright and novelist, best known as the creator of Peter Pan. He contrasted the imagination and freedom of childhood with the rigid expectations of adulthood, crafting the timeless symbol of the boy who never grows up. Barrie built his career around the London stage, producing plays and novels filled with warmth and lyricism. His works transcend children’s literature, exploring themes of growth, loss, and the meaning of dreams. The legacy he left continues to inspire readers and audiences worldwide to this day.
