What Goodreads says: Peter Pan, the "boy who would not grow up," originally appeared as a baby living a magical life among birds and fairies in J.M. Barrie's sequence of stories, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. His later role as flying boy hero was brought to the stage by Barrie in the beloved play Peter Pan, which opened in 1904 and became the novel Peter and Wendy in 1911. In a narrative filled with vivid characters, epic battles, pirates, fairies, and fantastic imagination, Peter Pan's adventures capture the spirit of childhood-- and of rebellion against the role of adulthood in conventional society.


What I say: I absolutely adored reading this book. I felt like a little kid again as the story unfolded. It was such an escape to tuck myself in under the covers and read about Peter and Wendy and John and Michael and Tink and the Lost Boys and Tiger Lily and, of course, Captain Hook and Smee. What a great adventure and a perfect book for parents to read to their children. Second to the right and straight on 'till morning.
