DESCRIPTION:By 1911\, when J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan first appeared in nov
 el form as Peter and Wendy\, it was already well-known. Barrie himself cre
 ated several versions of Peter and his surrounding mythos\, including the 
 1904 play on which the novel is based\, while countless other adaptations 
 and reworkings continue to be produced into the twenty-first century.\n\nE
 xamining holdings from the University Library's Tower Collection\, this ta
 lk will bring Peter Pan’s early paratexts into focus\, from the ephemera
 l tie-in publications produced in parallel with Barrie's own – including
  a colouring book and an ABC – to the illustrated dust-jackets and cover
 s of the novel itself. Munby Fellow 2023-24\, Dr Sarah Pyke\, will trace B
 arrie's most famous creation from page to stage and back again\, showing h
 ow a book historical approach can help us to read Peter Pan as\, above all
 \, a text invested in its own materiality.\n\nBook here: https://www.lib.c
