5.0 out of 5 stars A fight against hypocrisy with no magic fairy dust, 28 Dec 2003
By A Customer
The author breathes new life into a character most of us are already familiar with, but there is no way for Wendy Darling to fly out of the nursery window in this story. When she can escape the watchful eyes of the monstrous Nanny Holborn, Wendy loves hunting bugs in the garden or chatting with Mrs Jenkins in the kitchen, but she is trapped inside a glittering cage of social restrictions. The only other person who sees through the unfairness is Esther Cunningham, who is engaged in the battle for women's rights and attends suffragette rallies. Wendy's story offers a brilliant child's eye view of adult folly and the frightening hypocrisy of high society in early twentieth century England.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow ! A must...., 16 Nov 2003
I loved this book. I don't normally read fiction but always enjoyed the Peter Pan story as a child. I must admit was a little dubious when i heard this book was a prequel to the beloved yarn but my apprehensions vanished almost immediately when i started reading.

The book follows Wendy (Peter Pan's girlfried to be) as a young child growing up in early 20 th century London where she lives with her old-fashioned parents, long-suffered younger syblings, and a deliciously nasty nanny. Her childish innocence and vivid, magical imagination gain darker undertones when she discovers her father's infidelities with the mean Lady Cunningham - she catches them stealing kisses in the hall. Wendy's world gets turned on its head and she sets out to put the adults to rights. But is she ready to tackle the secrets, conspiracies, and half truths of the grown ups or will her over-active child's imagination lead her into more trouble than she had bargained for? More importantly what happens when magic gets involved?

I guess you'll have to read it. For a non-fiction lover like me I might add that the historical observation in this book is exquisite. All in all money well spent.

p.s. a note to adults and children alike... you can all read and enjoy this book! I was suprised to find it only in the children's section and not the grown up's one as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment, 19 Nov 2006
This review is from: Wendy (Paperback)
I bought this book expecting it to be based slightly on Peter Pan, but it was a completely different story altogether. It was incredibly boring, so much so that I couldn't finish it. I would not reccomend this book, there is no storyline and nothing to keep you reading.
