Peter and Wendy
Also known as Peter Pan
Synopsis
The Darling children fly out of a London nursery with a boy who refuses to grow up, toward a lagoon of pirates and lost boys. Barrie is enchanting and uneasy at once. Never growing up is a game for Peter and a kind of loss for everyone who loves him.
