Originally a play by the Scottish playwright (who knew he was Scottish? I didn't know until two seconds ago!) entitled Peter Pan: or, The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, then made into the novel we know and love as Peter Pan, but which was originally called Peter And Wendy.

So, whether you prefer the cartoon, the musical, or the cute guy, there's still the wonderful book! Need a refresher? The beloved story starts with the famous line: 'All children, except one, grow up.' And we meet the one exception, as well as the Darling children: Wendy, John and Michael, who are whisked away by Peter, flying off to Neverland and having all sorts of adventures involving mermaids, Indians, and the devilish pirate, Captain Hook. This is the perfect book to make you feel like a little kid again; it always does that to me!

And we can't finish off without mentioning the many sequels and prequels that sprouted from this novel, such as Geraldine McCaughrean's Peter Pan In Scarlet, Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's Peter And The Starcatchers series, and if you like Tinker Bell in particular, the lovely Fairy Dust And The Quest For The Egg.

Look out for a special review sometime soon! I'm excited about it, anyway! Happy reading.
