This story follows Wendy in a journey with Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up. She follows peter through a fantasy land in which she runs into Tinkerbell, a magical fairy, and fights with captain Hook and his crew of pirates.

Headed to see "Wendy and Peter Pan" in Stratford with a friend and her littles, so I thought I'd brush up on the original story. My memory of the story had been clouded, by Disney and time so I'm glad I did. Looking forward to the new-to-me interpretation. #44-2024

1. I‘m going to see Peter Pan tomorrow night with a friend of mine. I don‘t think I‘ve seen a live theater performance since before the pandemic.
2. I heard Who Knew (P!nk) yesterday on the radio, and it‘s been stuck in my head since then.

When Margaret grows up she will have a daughter, who is to be Peter‘s mother in turn; and thus it will go on, so long as children are gay and innocent and heartless.

Peter was once a normal child, but he ran away to Neverland so he would never have to grow up and die. He used to visit his own mother's window and listen to stories, but after she shut it on him, he started visiting others. He takes the Darling children on adventures and saves them from pirates.

J.M. Barrie's “Peter Pan“ is a story about never growing up and keeping a child's imagination. It's good for talking about growing up, using your imagination, and being responsible. You can also explore how characters change and what the author means with certain ideas

Well, it strikes me that all of the children are dead. They've died from some childhood infection, probably a chill caught from having the window open late at night, Peter Pan is the psychopomp guiding their souls into the afterlife, and a desolated Mary Darling sits in the silent, empty nursery imagining the adventures of her dead children, while her husband quietly loses his mind to grief.
It's dark 🖤

Bookwomble @BkClubCare It's one of the Macmillan Collector's Library editions, which have the same eggshell-blue upper register, gilt page edges, ribbon and printed endpapers. They look handsome together on a shelf, though as this is the only one I've got, I've only seen that effect in a bookshop 😊 2y

Last book purchase of our break is another children's classic I haven't read: Peter Pan. Visiting Dumfries before setting off for home, we went into Moat Brae, the house belonging to Barrie's childhood friends, where they played the imaginative games which formed the seeds of the book. I guess I had to get a copy while we were here! 🧚🏻‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

bibliothecarivs I love books as souvenirs! When I was last over there, I got The Canterbury Tales at Canterbury Cathedral, a novel about Hardy at Max Gate, and a children's book called I Was There...1066 at a local shop called Battle Books, among others. 2y
tpixie Amazing experience and great souvenir 2y
Aimeesue @bibliothecarivs Bibliotourism and souvenirs! I do that too - Moby Dick from Herman Melville‘s Arrowhead, An selection of her poems from Emily Dickinson‘s house, Collected short stories from Flannery O‘Conner‘s Andalusia. Some day I‘ll get to GB and make the grand tour of bookish places there. Although how I‘ll get them home is a mystery. 😋 2y

bibliothecarivs @Aimeesue haha... yes, the struggle is real. We brought home 29 books from the UK in our luggage: https://www.librarything.com/catalog/bibliothecarivs?tag=England+2016+Trip+Souve... 2y
Bookwomble @tpixie It was interesting rather than amazing 😊 But we had no children with us, which it turned out is (understandably) the main target market, and children would find it amazing. The book is a great souvenir, and I'm enjoying reading it. 2y
Bookwomble @bibliothecarivs When we visit anywhere I'm looking for the twin trophies of an associated book and bookmark 😁 We visited Thomas Hardy's Cottage, in Higher Bockhampton, Dorset in 2008, where I got the tagged book. I don't think they had a bookmark, though! You got quite a haul on your visit! How many of them have you read? 😃 2y
Bookwomble @Aimeesue Some nice additions to your collection, with special connections 😊 2y
tpixie @bibliothecarivs amazing thanks for sharing. 2y
tpixie @Bookwomble when my son was competing in gymnastics, we would listen to classics- Peter Pan, Jungle Book, and Mary Poppins. They were great reads and different from Disney. (edited) 2y

I never read Peter Pan before or knew the story except for the vaguest ideas. It was the favourite book of the narrator in All my Mothers and I thought I would finally read it today.

Mostly I found it very depressing and quite racist, and the fantasy really strange. Some of the writing is beautiful, I'll give it that. All in all I find it interesting that it became such a classic.

BarbaraJean My husband HATES the Disney version/musical and calls Peter Pan “the little asshole.” 😂 I own the book but haven‘t read it, and have always been curious about it (apparently not curious enough to read it!). Your review piques my curiosity even more, even though it sounds like it won‘t be a favorite! Maybe I‘ll pull it off the shelf so I‘ll SEE it and actually read it sooner rather than later. (edited) 2y
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @BarbaraJean I suppose now I can at least say I've read it. Neverland is just such a strange and rather depressing place, Tinker Bell is unpleasant - how Disney ever decided to do something with it boggles the mind 🙂 It's a quick read at least 2y

Though the story is fun & I did enjoy reading it, this book is definitely a product of its time. The misogyny & race content did not age well & does detract from the story. Information about Barrie's life & the story behind the book is touching, heart-breaking & gives the book a bit more of an endearing quality. A good fairytale despite its downfalls. Worth the read for me, but not at the top of my list for a current middle grade recommendation.

The one book I have in poor condition because I read it all the time as a little girl. But like, I just re-read it and there‘s a lot more killing in this book than I remember. Also it had the sentence “Fairies had to climb over him on their way home from an orgy.” So I‘m just… wondering how my childhood brain processed that sentence 🙃

I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion, but I didn't love this book. It was hard for me to accept it as a story for children with all the focus on death, dying, and murder.

There have been several Peter Pan related movies made and I've reserved a few at my local library. I think I'm going to start with "Finding Neverland" which actually tells the author's story and focuses on his inspiration behind Peter Pan and its cast of characters.

rubyslippersreads If you really want to ruin this book for yourself, read the fascinating 3y
SRWCF @rubyslippersreads WHOA!!! I just read the book description. To be honest, there was an "afterword" in the book I just finished that touched lightly on the author's history. I'm not gonna lie...I wondered if something nefarious took place with that family. ? Now want to read the book you tagged. Thank you for the recommendation! 3y
rubyslippersreads @SRWCF I would watch “Finding Neverland” first, because you might not enjoy it after reading this book. 😏 3y

I've always wanted to read this classic so I'm glad I finally have! At first the writing was odd but considering how old this book is I should have expected it. Also the themes and ideas in this book are very traditional, and even fairly dark at times. The world of Neverland was so magical but not overly detailed, the plot was basic but fun, and overall the novel is quite short and easy to read quickly, I enjoyed the ending though its disturbing😂
