“Neverland is as much a tomb for the unloved and forgotten as it is a map of a child’s mind. It is a place ruled by a boy with a memory as thin as the skeleton leaves he wears.”
—Sabrina Orah Mark on lost boys, fairy tales, & raising Black sons in America

“Barrie’s book may ostensibly be about the boys’ eternal childhood, but it’s the mother figures who are the scaffolding upon which his story rests.”

Everytime I listen to this song, I get transported back to Indonesian early 2000s. The song captures that period of time like a snapshot.

Peter Banning is a man so committed to performance that he cannot even hear his children crying out for his presence. The tragedy is not that he grew up, but that he grew up away from himself.

If you ask your mother whether she knew about Peter Pan when she was a little girl she will say, “Why, of course, I did, child,” and if you ask her whether he rode on a goat in those days she will say, “What a foolish question to ask; certainly he did.” Then if you ask your grandmother whether she knew about Peter Pan when she was a girl, she also says, “Why, of course, I did, child,” but if you ask her whether he rode on a goat in those days, she says she never heard of his having a goat. Perhaps she has forgotten, just as she sometimes forgets your name and calls you Mildred, which is your mother’s name. Still, she could hardly forget such an important thing as the goat. Therefore there was no goat when your grandmother was a little girl. This shows that, in telling the story of Peter Pan, to begin with the goat (as most people do) is as silly as to put on your jacket before your vest.
Of course, it also shows that Peter is ever so old, but he is really always the same age, so that does not matter in the least.J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]

WENDY: Oh! Peter, when Captain Hook carried us away —
PETER: Who’s Captain Hook? Is it a story? Tell it me.
WENDY: (aghast) Do you mean to say you’ve even forgotten Captain Hook, and how you killed him and saved all our lives?
PETER: (fidgeting) I forget them after I kill them.J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]

WENDY:I shall give you a kiss if you like.
PETER: Thank you. (He holds out his hand.)

PETER. I shall know when you give it me. (Not to hurt his feelings she gives him her thimble.)J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
