Because it's in public domain, there are a lot of reinterpretations of this book. I was just talking to an author (unnamed) who is hamstrung because he has a great idea for a reinterpretation of another classic (unnamed) but has trouble proceeding because that book was blocked from going into public domain by the change in copyright law. Oddly enough, he can probably publish it in most other countries.
Needless to say, I celebrate just about every event with the purchase of thumb puppets. I found a nice collection of pirate and alligator thumb puppets, just the thing with which to celebrate J. M. Barrie's classic.
John, doesn't Yale have two great Peter Pan books?
ReplyDeleteFunny you should ask! There's
ReplyDeleteMy Heart in Company
The Work of J.M. Barrie and the Birth of Peter Pan, and, even better,
J.M. Barrie and the Lost Boys
The real story behind Peter Pan. Highly recommend both.
