how wonderful life is. Because all the lessons that fairy tales taught me still benefit me for life.

What if the place you imagined when you were a kid was actually real? Well, in Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie, there is such a place. A place where kids could play with fairies, mermaids, and even pirates! Forget Chuck E. Cheese, here a kid really can be a kid! You can do pretty much anything if you’re with the one and only Peter Pan, except one minor thing. You are not allowed to grow up!
