Actress Lily Collins’ latest adventure includes narrating Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. Listen to a clip of the performance below, and then pick up your own copy!
Collins is perhaps best known for her roles in The Blind Side, Mirror, Mirror, and The Mortal Instruments, but today she’s lending her voice to the classic childhood tale of Peter Pan.
The synopsis provided by Audible reads:
There are few characters in literature more iconic than J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. Originally introduced in 1902 in another Barrie novel (The Little White Bird), Peter’s story was expanded as a standalone novel in 1911 and since then has been memorably adapted for the movies, for television, and for stage.
Now, actress Lily Collins (The Blind Side, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) brings new, youthful energy to Peter’s magical adventures — her performance capturing the innocence and wonder of Barrie’s original tale. Through Collins’ voice you’ll rediscover your favorite characters: Captain Hook, the Darlings, Tinker Bell, The Lost Boys, and a tick-tocking crocodile. And you’ll fly along with Peter through Neverland – a place full of magic and adventure; a place where no one gets old.

Collins’ narration is a soft, gentle reading of an often boisterous and surprisingly violent story, but it’s particularly well-adapted to give to younger children. You can listen to a clip here:
