Loved this book! It is so obvious why it is a classic. It appeals to children and their sense of adventure and romance. And yet, it is so obviously geared toward adults in its wry observations about “heartless” children.

The language could at times be cumbersome, mostly because of the time when it was written, but Oh! what language! The imagery of the Neverland, of fairies, of the kiss on Mrs. Darling’s lips that Wendy could never quite catch, it was all so wonderful. I was delighed at every turn by Peter’s rash cockiness, and laughed out loud multiple times at Tinker Bell’s impulsive, irrational behavior, and the way fairies could only feel one emotion at once.

If you haven’t read this book, read this book. It is a joy. Read it out loud with someone you love, young or old.
