Peter and Pan: From Ancient Greece to Neverland

Did you know that Peter Pan, the iconic and beloved character created by Scottish author J. M. Barrie over 100 years ago, evolved from the Greco-Roman god Pan? In this charming, imaginatively designed exhibition catalogue, Archaeology Curator Rachel Caine Kreinin traces the history of the ancient god, analyzing the features that led to his metamorphosis into Peter Pan and made the character so appealing in turn-of-the-century Britain; while Peter Pan’s development in book illustrations and on the stage and screen are explored respectively by Orna Granot, Curator of Illustrated Children’s Books, and cinema expert Einat Kapach.
