Scot and I read this one out loud...it was really good! Again, this classic is better than the movie! One of my favorite images..."Mrs. Darling first heard of Peter when she was tidying up her children's minds. It is the nightly custom of every good mother after her children are asleep to rummage in their minds and put things straight for next morning, repacking into their proper places the many articles that have wandered during the day. If you could keep awake (but of course you can't) you would see your own mother doing this and you would find it very interesting to watch. It's quite like tidying up drawers. You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on Earth you picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek, as if it were a nice kitten, and hurriedly stowing that out of sight. When you wake in the morning, the naughtiness and evil passions with which you went to bed have been folded up small and placed at the bottom of your mind and on the top, beautifully aired, are spread out the prettier thoughts, ready for you to put on.”

Vreemd genoeg had ik het verhaal nooit echt helemaal gelezen of een film gezien, alleen stukjes. Het is een kort verhaal en een beetje idioot, maar ik snap de achterliggende gedachte wel. Zoals de kapitei die bang is voor de krokodil die een klok heeft ingeslikt, omdat die krokodil ooit zijn arm eraf heeft gehapt. Dat weerspiegelt hoe een mens voor altijd bang kan blijven voor iets specifieks wat haar of hem ooit veel pijn heeft gedaan.

What a delightful production of Peter Pan! Thoroughly enjoyed from first to last moment. "I feel dancy" after listening to this.
