A review by bittersweet_symphony
Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
4.0
Still as charming as the first reading. Such a unique and enchanting method of storytelling: seriously peculiar themes.
The puer aeternus holds less sway over me than it used to—having since moved onto other archetypal forces—but I will always cherish this paragraph from the end of the book: "There could not have been a lovelier sight; but there was none to see it except a little boy who was staring in at the window. He had ecstasies innumerable that other children can never know; but he was looking through the window at the one joy from which he must be forever barred."
