This is a fractured fairytale for grownups -- a prequel to Peter Pan. I really don't know why it's an adult book; it would be fine for kids. Or is the vocabulary too much? the sailing lingo? I read it once (3 stars), then listened to it on CD -- better, because I love anything Jim Dale reads.

This was very well done. When I started reading this book I did not realize that it was a prequel of sorts to Peter Pan. I was very impressed with the writing. The authors were very imaginative and creative. It is an easy, but interesting read.
