Summary: 3 Stars
I am not sure if Peter Pan is well written. I am not sure if I could diagram the plot. I am sure I would never have written that story the way Barrie wrote it . . . which is why only Barrie could write Peter Pan. Only Barrie could break literary rules and plot conventions so well to create something so timeless.
Peter Pan is in no way real, but the fantasy of it is in some ways everyone's fantasy. Barries seems to have been every child. He understands them, heartless, beautiful creatures that they are. He knows that Neverland is not always very good and it can be very frightening. It is that place right before we fall asleep that mothers try to soften with night lights, but that can be all too harsh when we are left alone with Captain James Cook, the scurvy dog who is never more sinister than when he is polite.
Barrie is the guardian of children's dreams. His work should never be forgotten.
