Peter Pan and Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens by J.M. Barrie
4.0
I really love the whimsical elements of both stories, like a dream. While you're reading (and if you're immersed enough) it makes sense and is a wonderful time. But, on later thinking it doesn't make any sense and when you try to retell it to someone else it's really disjointed.
Of course this is an old ass book and people back in the days were horribly prejudiced so fair warning to people who've never read books from way back-be prepared for constant racial slurs and belittlement of women.
Peter Pan has always been my favourite story ever, I was first introduced to the story by its cartoon versions and later the 2003 live action, loved it. Was a little disappointed at the content in regards to race and sex when I finally did read the book. To be honest I just kind of ignore that shit, try to enjoy the story because if those parts were taken out nothing of the story would be lost.
I like how the original Peter (in both stories) are not to be pitied but are told as rather sad little creatures. I like how the older, Neverland Peter is almost sinister is his childlike ways. And also how much more mature the baby, Kensington Gardens one is in comparison to the older Peter, despite being perpetually 1 week old in the Kensington story.
It's just a nice little read, though you may want to censor the racist and sexist shit.
