Book Reviews of Peter Pan and Other Plays: The Admirable Crichton; Peter Pan; When Wendy Grew Up; What Every Woman Knows; Mary Rose (Oxford World's Classics)
Book Review: A beautiful story for children everywhere!
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter Pan has often been described as a classic and no doubt everyone is familiar with the story but this is worth reading for all the nice touches which often get forgotten.Similiar to a certain Mr Potter, this book can easily relate to children and adults alike. The characters are geniunely amusing and described so well you can identify with them all, from the hyper-active Peter who just wants to play all day to the weary Father, working far more than 9 to 5 dat after day.
The book is full of quirks which remind you of the imagination of Barrie. My particular favouriste is Nana, the dog employed as the Nanny due to the family's impoverised state (despite that fact they all live in Kensington - like I say, imagination is important!). What also works well is the double setting of the Nursery and Never-Never land where everything and everyone works differently. We see characters acting completely differently when taken out of their normal context, something we can all relate to!
At the centre of the book, however, is the moving theme of growing up and moving on. Long before those kids in Dawson's Creek were giving advice on life, Peter Pan and Wendy were dealing with the human condition in a much more realxed manner. Upon finishing the book I felt moved and entertained which can only be a good thing!
I would recommend reading Peter Pan either as a refresher course or as a completely new experience.
