CROOK, JOHN Peter Pan; or, The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up. Fantasy in Five Acts.
Book & Lyrics by Sir J. M. Barrie. Note: This is the original musical score to accompany Barrie's famous fantasy. The play, when
performed today, is frequently done without music or with other more recent scores. In fact, this original score by Crook is an integral part of
the drama and Barrie never intended for the play to be performed without it.
