Peter already had a backstory written by Barrie and this is nothing close to it. What's more, the Barry/Pearson novels have a TON of mistakes in them as compared to Barrie's original tales. How they can be so disrespectful of a fellow author and classic literature is mind-boggling. They're borrowing these characters and world... they can't go making fact-checking mistakes and changing the very thematic nature of Pan's eternal youth! No thanks.<br /><br />There is a faithful Peter Pan adventure... based on Barrie's own notes for more... check it out:<br /><a href="http://www.peterpansneverworld.com/" rel="nofollow">Click</a>!<br /><br />There's also a great 'What if?' story for Wendy: <a href="http://www.reginettapress.com/hookandjill/" rel="nofollow">Click</a>!<br /><br />Enjoy!<br />BELIEVE!The Never Fairynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-33960354143991593272010-07-23T05:59:36.468-07:002010-07-23T05:59:36.468-07:00Came back to read it today...again got "the f...Came back to read it today...again got "the flutter."pattihttp://www.pattilacy.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-81296083087515907682010-07-22T22:35:15.484-07:002010-07-22T22:35:15.484-07:00As I hit the button to enter this comment page, my...As I hit the button to enter this comment page, my thought was "Beautifully written!"
