Unlike you, I was a total Peter Pan freak as a child; my mother made me a costume based on the Disney version, and I was even sold on the musical when it was on TV. When I finished reading <I>Peter and Wendy</I> to Ann (this was almost 25 years ago), she noticed I was in tears and got quite upset. I also got pretty weepy at the end of <I>Finding Neverland</I>--and then stole an image from it for a poem (which was in the most recent <I>Hambone</I>). All this means is that the uncanny is in play for me big time in the Pan narrative. Fluttering around like Tinkerbell, I guess.Norman Finkelsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673105579717018812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-10431197634983353542007-03-27T07:47:00.000-04:002007-03-27T07:47:00.000-04:00Of Barrie's work I'd recommend the, by today's mor...Of Barrie's work I'd recommend the, by today's mores, politically incorrect _My Lady Nicotine: A Study in Smoke_. I doubt it's in print, but Project Gutenberg have it online. It's a fascinating period piece and the humour stills stands up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-87992596161987512852007-03-27T00:54:00.000-04:002007-03-27T00:54:00.000-04:00I'll have to check both of those out, as my experi...I'll have to check both of those out, as my experience is about as opposite yours as it can be. I saw the Disney film as a child, and during the one summer my mom decided we were going to get some culture dammit and bought season tickets to the Saenger in New Orleans, the two productions we saw were "Peter Pan" starring Sandy Duncan and "The King and I" with Yul Brynner. And much as I enjoyed the moment when Duncan flies out over the audience (ask me about my Uncle Bee's experience with that sometime), I still imagine I'd like the book even more.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192537713607428731noreply@blogger.com
