MPSRC - Book more than 100 years old (1911)
How can you not love Peter Pan? I can't believe it took me this long to read it. Of course, I know the story - we all know the story. I was impressed with how true the Disney movie (or at least my recollection of it) stayed to the book. I listened to the audio book - not the Audible original with bunches of different voices and sound effects - the straight reading by Christpher Cassanove. It was everything it should be - fanciful, exciting, at times slightly misogynistic (again - 1911. Don't skip it, talk to your children about it.) or scary - a sheer delight that I will be sure to read again.

Adam and I read this book with the kids and WE really liked it. It took a bit for the kids to get into it, but as the story picked up and they got used to the old-fashioned language they loved it.
I'm so glad I finally read this. Read to the newly 7 yo. She loved it, though parts were scary for her. There was a lot that was incomprehensible to her. References I couldn't even begin to explain (it's a bit dated in its writing style). But she didn't seem to care.
