And thus it will go on, so long as children are gay and innocent and heartless.
To read this merely as a children’s book does not do it justice. Even though born in 2000, I grew up watching the 1953 version on VHS over and over again and the discrepancy between the two versions feels like a perfect illustration for the point the story is making about growing up. Reading it back makes me want to both be young again as well as to apologize to my mother.

It is important to note that Barrie’s book is from a very different time and thus feature outdated views and language.
