Peter Pan (Annotated): The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The book based on J.M. Barrie's famous play, is filled with unforgettable characters: Peter Pan, the boy who would not grow up; the fairy, Tinker Bell; the evil pirate, Captain Hook; and the three children--Wendy, John, and Michael--who fly off with Peter Pan to Neverland, where they meet Indians and pirates and a crocodile that ticks. Quotes from the book: “All children, except one, grow up.” “All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.” “The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.” Readers' reviews: “Written with such delicate embellishments the language is a wonder in itself, and you will find yourself sighing with delight at the stunning metaphors and fanciful explanations.” (Rikke, goodreads.com) “A book for adult readers-aloud to revel in--and it just might teach young listeners to fly.” (Richard Farr) “Barrie's notion of childhood bolstered me, let me loosen up - I was too obedient back then. Love his sense of humor, his prose, the way he tantalizes the reader.” (Gail Levine, goodreads.com)
