Mary Alice Monroe:
If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Mary Alice Monroe
Ever since I was a young child I fell in love with the story of Peter and Wendy by J.M. Barrie. I would fantasize about what it would be like if I, like Wendy, could follow "the second star to the right and straight on till morning" with Peter Pan to his faraway place of Neverland. I dreamed of flying to Neverland, a place you can soar, and play with mermaids—even if they play rough. If I could go, I’d tidy up the treehouse, make friends with Tink and Tiger Lily (because a girl needs her girlfriends) and yes—I would give Peter his first kiss!
I loved Barrie’s fictional world so much, as an adult, I wrote and published a contemporary novel inspired by Barrie's work titled Second Star to the Right. It's the story of a 90 year old woman, living on the top floor of a brownstone in London who believes she is Peter Pan’s Wendy.
