About this listen

The acclaimed artist Brom brilliantly displays his multiple extraordinary talents in The Child Thief—a spellbinding re-imagining of the beloved Peter Pan story that carries readers through the perilous mist separating our world from the realm of Faerie. As Gregory Maguire did with his New York Times bestselling Wicked novels, Brom takes a classic children’s tale and turns it inside-out, painting a Neverland that, like Maguire’s Oz, is darker, richer, more complex than innocent world J.M. Barrie originally conceived. An ingeniously executed literary feat, illustrated with Brom’s sumptuous artwork, The Child Thief is contemporary fantasy at its finest—casting Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, even Captain Hook and his crew in a breathtaking new light.

What a beautiful recipe of dark fairytail, modern day and madness all rolled into one glorious story.

I loved this book, honestly everything about it was excellent, this is the story of Peter pan we need, and the narrator does a brilliant job, his character voices and reading is seamless, I really can't say enough good things. Started this book because I got so bored of another series I was listening to that was getting slow with poor narrating and this just reminded me how good audio books can be

fantastic tale, truly a great book

What an awesome retelling of such a twisted childhood tale! Very well done. Fabulous narration as well - thoroughly enjoyed this book! Brom has quickly become one of my favourite authors - on to read Slewfoot!

Brilliant!

This is the Peter Pan that that should have been made into movie. Excellently written and what a exceptional performance by the narrator. I bought all of Brom's other books, and I mean all of them, audio and hardback off the back of this, I start Krampus tomorrow.

What an exceptionally excellent story
