cherold reviewed Peter Pan (Signet Classics) by J. M. Barrie
Review of 'Peter Pan (Signet Classics)' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Recently I came across Peter Pan online somewhere and read a bit, and was startled by how utterly charming, funny and original it was. I wound up getting this audio book, and Dale does a wonderful job with a wonderful book.
Like a lot of classic children's books, Peter Pan seems to be written more for adults than kids. While the story is a wonderful kid's story, the writing is eccentric and thoughtful, and Barrie, who introduced Peter Pan in a book for adults, has a wonderful and expressive tone that makes the book not interesting just for the story but for hundreds of small observations about the characters and the charmingly offhand comments about children in general.
Absolutely amazing.
