First book of 2022, done and dusted! I've had this on my shelf for years and I thought it would be a nice, quick, read to start off my reading challenge. I listened to it on audiobook and the narrator did such a good job with the character voices and childlike expressions. I was surprised at the adultness of the book, when discussing killing and death so openly. I thought this was going to be very whimsical and childish, which it was, but there were more adult themes than I expected. Upon comparing it to the likes of The Chronicles of Narnia, I think this was simply more lax in children's books in the 1900's. This book was very strange, but I think what I liked most about it was the reason Barrie wrote it in the first place. I could see elements of the loss of a child and a mother's/parent's unfaltering love all over this story, hidden under the guise of a children's fantasy book. I'm glad I waited until I was older to read Peter Pan. I feel I truly understood it better than I would have in my youth.
