Sometimes you have to believe in things you can't see. Stay young forever.

You know the story—the children in the nursery, Wendy, Michael, and John; the bell-voiced fairy Tinkerbell, complete with magical fairy dust; Peter himself, the boy who wouldn’t grow up but who flew away to Neverland instead; and of course the nastiest, naughtiest pirate whose hand was ever eaten by a crocodile, the delightfully vile Captain Hook. The story has many a quirky charm that you, in the busy business of your grown-up life, may have forgotten: Nana, the all-knowing doggy-nurse; the way Mrs. Darling tidies up her children’s minds, which is of course the “nightly custom of every good mother”; and author J.M. Barrie’s sweetly skewed world in which fantasy and reality have never met more lovingly—even when Captain Hook is stealing kiddies from their beds or turning tail and fleeing from the big bad crocodile. There are dozens of editions of Peter Pan, which was originally a play in 1903. The one-hundredth anniversary edition illustrated by Michael Hague is a special treat, with lush full-page paintings and a truly inspiring rendition of crooky old Captain Hook.

the book is so good and i wish i could be a boy forever to and even though i will grow up i will still act the same way i do now. i do not like it that captin hook dies even if is evil and vile and shellfish i`m not sure i spelled that right with a h but i love taking risks like peter pan does i even had a walk about 1000 feet in the dark peter pan is so thrilling and has adventure. and i also wish that wendy moria angela darling a.k.a wendy a.k.a. the wendy lady never ever ever grew older than 14 years but she grew to older than 70! even if it dosn`t say it its ovbious because she is a grandmother and i can`t imagine that peter forgot tinker bell (a.k.a tink) and captin hook! and it is sad that he gets eaten by a crocidile. thank you for putting this book in the henneipin county library
