JEEZ, I did not expect this one to go as hard as it did. The last twenty pages are terribly sad. It’s interesting to see how well Disney did at adapting it 400 years ago, like they stuck very closely to the source material, but that last chapter is a doozy, dude!!!! A total sad-fest!!!!!

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.

it would get 5 stars if the entire existence of the "red skins" wasn't so uncomfortable

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.
