(A post about it is on my blog somewhere if you do a search). Son #1 played a Lost Boy and delivered his one line with great aplomb.Susehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837796439737091649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-21049305414860168942008-09-27T09:20:00.000+10:002008-09-27T09:20:00.000+10:00"I made Peter by rubbing the five of you violently..."I made Peter by rubbing the five of you violently together, as savages with two sticks produce a flame.

I think I had the Disney book when I was a girl but a mature woman of 36 needs an edition more along the lines of yours. What a glorious book. (I'm going to have so much fun shopping for this!)<BR/><BR/>Your Grandpa sure has a knack for picking out Books That Rock The Illustrations. These Pan pictures are so amazing! I LOVE the ship fight scene. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again, dearest Eleanor!<BR/>I look forward to more visits to your library.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>TuliThat Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765235570000493668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-13014035417681761142008-09-27T00:05:00.000+10:002008-09-27T00:05:00.000+10:00I feel as though we're having a lovely dinner part...I feel as though we're having a lovely dinner party together, Eleanor, with lots of talk of books and authors, and a wonderful show and tell. Now if I could just get my hands on that wine bottle at the end of the table and pour myself another glass of wine... <BR/><BR/>The book notes to Peter Pan are fascinating and the dedication is great, too.<BR/><BR/>Also enjoyed hearing that Milne and Barrie were friends...I didn't know that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
