4,5 ⭐
Moja najobľúbenejšia detská kniha. Pamätám si krásnu Mrs Darling a jej dokonalé šaty, lietajúceho Petra Pana a domček pre Wendy. Pre mňa to vždy kniha o kontraste make believe a realite a o nechcení sa do reality vrátiť. Že bol Barrie Škót som netušila, ani že to napísal ako spomienku na svojho brata, ktorý zomrel deň pred jeho 14 narodeninami a teda v jeho očiach aj v očiach jeho mamz ostane navždy dieťaťom. Mínus jedna hviezdička za gendrové stereotypy

It really is amazing how different these books are from the movies you saw as a child. It was first published in 1914!!
I had so much fun listening to it!!

Excellent book for both children and adults. Originally published in 1911 as *Peter and Wendy*, it depicts Peter Pan, "the boy who wouldn't grow up", as a mischievous half-human child, half-fairy who never had parents and who never remembers. His fairy companion Tinker Bell isn't as nice as depicted in Disney. More anon... ...more
