pick

Peter Pan is one of my favorite stories and I enjoyed this “prequel.” I really love this cover. It looks like her and also like a lily. This book addresses transgender issues if you are looking for a book that addresses lgbtq issues.

Tiger Lily | Jodi Lynn Anderson

She stands on the cliffs, near the old crumbling stone house.
There‘s nothing left in the house but an upturned table, a ladle, and a clay bowl. She stands for more than a hour, goose-bumped and shivering.

Lost Boy | Christina Henry

pick

5 Stars • Lost Boy by Christina Henry reimagines Peter Pan through Jamie, the future Captain Hook. Neverland‘s a dark playground where Peter‘s a selfish, cruel leader whose deadly games kill boys. Jamie, the group‘s protector, sees Peter‘s true colors and faces a brutal betrayal. Gritty and emotional, it flips the hero-villain narrative, questioning who the real monster is.

Real Peter Pan: J. M. Barrie and the Boy Who Inspired Him | Piers Dudgeon

pan

A look at the lives of J.M. Barrie & neighbours, the Llewelyn Davies family, whose five boys were instrumental in the development of the story of Peter Pan - especially Michael, their fourth son, on whom the main character was based. At first the friendships were thought to be of little concern but eventually Arthur Llewelyn Davies moved his family out of London to get away from Barrie's influence. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf In this he was thwarted by his wife who facilitated Barrie's involvement. Unlike Peter Pan, Michael did indeed grow up, & as he did so he tried to break free of Barrie's influence, but only managed to do so in death. Accident or suicide? We will probably never know.

If events happened as they are laid out here, Barrie's presence was a wedge between the boys' parents, Sylvia & Arthur, who grew apart just before Arthur's tragic death of cancer at 3mo

OutsmartYourShelf a relatively young age, & Barrie's continued influence fractured this family from within. Even after reading this, I'm still unsure as to whether it could be termed emotional abuse, but the dynamic between Michael & Barrie became unhealthy for both of them.

Even with this darkness at the heart of one of our best-loved children's story, there were points when my attention wandered. 3mo

OutsmartYourShelf The writing style is quite rambling & the narrative sometimes went off on tangents instead of sticking to the main point. I found it a bit confusing at times, but I hadn't known about the link between the Llewelyn Davies family & the du Mauriers before reading this. 2⭐
