Female Voice Talent Bobbin Beam, voices new audiobook version of "Peter Pan"

Jan. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- San Diego, CA:  Cherry Hill Publishing has released the unabridged audio version of acclaimed Scottish novelist and playwright, James Matthew Barrie's "Peter Pan".   Peter Pan is the story of a mischievous boy who can fly and never grows up.  The new audio version is available for download at Audible.com, Amazon.com and iTunes and is formatted for use on most computers, tablets, audio devices and smart phones.

The character of Peter Pan first appeared in a section of a novel written by Barrie for adults in 1902, "The Little White Bird".  The Pan character was adapted for stage as a play in 1904, "Peter Pan and Wendy"' and then later in 1911, as the novel, "Peter Pan".   The most widely known version  of the story is the 1953 animated motion picture, "Walt Disney's Peter Pan".

The notion of a boy who would never grow up was based on J. M. Barrie's older brother who died in an ice-skating accident the day before he turned fourteen years old and thus always stayed a young boy in his mother's mind.

In the 1953 Disney adaptation and its 2002 sequel, Peter appears to be in late childhood, between 10 and 13 years old. (The actor that provided the voice in 1953 was 15-year-old Bobby Driscoll.) In the 2003 film, Jeremy Sumpter was 13 at the time filming started, but by the end of filming he was 14 and had grown several inches taller.

The new audio edition of “Peter Pan”, released in late 2011, is narrated by Bobbin Beam, a voice actress based in Escondido, California.
