Many of the details of these stories did not age well. The main story of Peter Pan is fun to read as a historical piece. However, I am not sure what exactly is the purpose of the follow-up Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and neither were my kids.

I love that it says there are boy fairies, girl fairies, and “darling little sillies that aren’t quite sure what they are.” Hooray for non-binary representation, no matter how small.

This book is wildly racist, which is to be expected from the period in which it was written, but it's still mad racist bro.
