Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | Boy wonder
And Geraldine McCaughrean also writes about her Peter Pan sequel in The Guardian:
What I attempted was a literary counterpart - the matching bookend - same world, but somewhat reversed. I do not entirely share Barrie's outlook on life. I do not swallow his assertion that we are born happy and dwindle to inevitable unhappiness. Nor do I share his mistrust of parents and grown-ups. If they are so dreadful, why are there Wendy houses and pirate swingboats in so many gardens?
