It has been ages since I have watched any one of the numerous "Peter Pan" variations and what seems like years to have read the actual book. What has piked my interest on this besides the Classics challenge that I have set myself is the fact I am reading a book that is meant to be a spin-off of it thus I want to refresh myself.

What always irritated me with "Peter Pan was it was so outdated while showing the Indians in such a bad light. There was never an explanation for them while in both the Disney version and J.M. Barrie's original there were so many wrong stereotypes. Maybe since of the political correctness farce I am getting to be soft and more lenient while accepting that back in 1911 that was the way things were seen by the "civilized" people.

Maybe I am more forgiving since of the fact that I am going through a phase where I can read a good book and enjoy the adventure that it gives. Or maybe it is the excitement that shows for a life we all dream of while at the same time comparing it with the one that we wish we actually had instead.

This particular version is missing the majority of what makes Barrie's "Pan" Pan but it does cover the basic. In this particular site there is more adventure and violence highlighted so it is best to avoid for smaller children but older children should enjoy it.... ( )

Peter Pan, the boy who never wanted to grow up. Join him, Wendy and the lost boys in their incredible adventures.
This is one of the most beloved fantasy classics ever written.
