But it was because of Peter's general attitude and not because of his mother. =D I prefer the Disney-fied version (which I know will likely drive you up the wall! My apologies!). <br /><br />I DO plan on reading this with my boys when they are older though because it is a classic for a reason and provides plenty of food for thought!<br /><br />Glad to read your review of it AND to know that you liked it! It will not be avoided in our house - even though it isn't exactly my favorite.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012744915676074134.post-57672070043015232622010-01-23T11:43:16.826-08:002010-01-23T11:43:16.826-08:00I fell in love with Peter Pan as a young girl, and...I fell in love with Peter Pan as a young girl, and have read it countless times since. Happily, many years ago, I married a Mr. Darling, so I am a realio-trulio Mrs. Darling. Not only that, I have a sister-in-law named Wendy. <br /><br />Have a blessed day in the Lord!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224478477510925985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012744915676074134.post-80526633845060849152010-01-23T11:33:20.885-08:002010-01-23T11:33:20.885-08:00My son got this one for Christmas, and I'm anx...My son got this one for Christmas, and I'm anxious to read it to him.

I loved reading your thoughts on mothers in the novel - I agree, Mrs. Darling was one of the most heart-wrenching parts of the book.
