Things Worth Believing In - (Excerpted from a Response to a Reader)
Since publishing Peter: The Untold True Story, I have received messages from many readers about my book, and about Peter Pan. I enjoy receiving these, and have been happy to respond as much as I am able. I recently received a moving message from a reader who shared how books like Peter Pan and Harry Potter had provided an escape for her at difficult times in her childhood. As a girl, she had i Read more of this blog post »

“All children grow up, all but one. His name is Peter and by now, all the civilized world has heard of him. He has captured the public imagination and become a legend, a subject for poets, philosophers and psychologists to write about, and for children to dream of. The children’s tales might be lacking in some details, but on the whole they are more accurate than most other accounts, for children will always understand Peter intuitively, as I did when I first met him.
"I shall endeavor to tell you the true story of my friend Peter, because he cannot tell it to you himself. Afterward I hope you will love him and defend him as I have for the remainder of your days. Pass on to others a true account of the wild boy who would not grow up, who danced with kings and won the hearts of princesses. He defied logic and reason, lived and loved with an innocent heart, and found peace in the midst of a turbulent world.”

“…This place was once like your Enchanted Forest is- home to tens of thousands of fairies. But that was many ages ago, before the Kingdom of Britain was established. In those early days, the fairies ruled over the land.”

― Peter: The Untold True Story
“Prince of the Enchanted Forest. Adopted son of the Fairy Folk. Wild Boy. Your reputation precedes you, child. All of Germany has been talking about you lately. And yet, no one knows your name.” The boy looked up at the King and smiled. The king smiled back, and took a deep breath. “…Henceforth, you shall be known as Peter.”

“Some day the soft Ideal that we wooed
Confronts us fiercely, foe-beset, pursued,
And cries reproachful: “Was it then my praise,
And not myself was loved? Prove now thy truth;
I claim of thee the promise of thy youth.”

Dear Christopher,Thank you for the friend request.
I look forward to reading your book. Peter Pan (and Neverland in general) has always fascinated me, and even though my interest isn't academic in nature and I don't spend every waking minute trying to find out more about the character, every chance to expand my knowledge of him is a treat and a privilege :)
Thanks for the friend request! I am excited to read your book for sure! And as for the recommendations, I have read Watership Down... I read it when I was in school, I loved it!

No problem, I love reading anything fairy tale. I know almost every one of them by heart but no matter how the story is retold I still am at the edge of my chair needing to know what comes next. Books are my life. Thank you for the add. Any recommendations for something good to read?
