Never
"Come away from the window," his brother told him, but Michael Darling was still certain he could fly.
A year before, he had been taken away to Neverland by a boy called Peter Pan, and for the rest of his life he would be haunted by the certainty that there was a world beyond early 20th Century England, a world that he would fit and belong in. Through the troubled romances of school days and the horrors of World War I and into the twilight years of the Lost Generation, he would cling to the tattered memories of his youth, to a time when he was wild and strange, a time that he was desperate to find his way back to.
As a boy, he had jumped from the window and shattered himself. As a man, would he do even more to finally get to the realm of his dreams?

I have read this book many times and with each new read love it more and more. Truly a great work of fiction that can be read over and over. I highly recommend it.

I found this book to be charming and leisurely to read in all of the right ways. The ending bothering me just a little, but I suppose more can always be revealed in a sequel.
