In stifling Edwardian London, Wendy Darling mesmerizes her brothers every night with bedtime tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook.

In this incarnation, Peter is imbued with a greater degree of psychological darkness than before.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

A tribute to the power of good storytelling.
