In addition to “Peter Pan,” this collection features several other plays by Barrie, including:

2. “When Wendy Grew Up”: A sequel to “Peter Pan” that imagines what happens when Wendy Darling returns to Neverland as an adult.
3. “What Every Woman Knows”: A comedy about a woman who secretly helps her husband succeed in politics, only to realize her own potential in the process.
4. “Mary Rose”: A supernatural drama about a woman who disappears mysteriously on a remote island and returns years later without having aged.
This Oxford World’s Classics edition likely includes introductory material, annotations, and contextual information to provide readers with a deeper understanding of Barrie’s plays and their significance within the context of literature and theater.
