Quite magical. It's very like the story we know from Disneys retelling of this, but of course being the source it gives much more small details that really flesh things out. The idea of growing up, adulthood vs childhood, dreams, time, motherhood, different societal expectations of boys and girls, is all so so interesting. Although Peter is decidedly more of an annoying brat, which I think is certainly intentional as a boy left to his own devices living off magic and raised by fairies. So, I get it. He has a certain softness at points which makes you feel sympathetic towards him. Anyway such a full and interesting classic!!
