Gettin' in Their Heads....


"....It is the nightly custom of every mother after her children are asleep to rummage in their minds and put things straight for next morning, repacking into their prpoer places the many articles that have wandered during the day. If you could keep awake (but of course you can't) you would see your own mother doing this, and you would find it very interesting to watch her. It is quite like tidying up drawers. You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek as if it were as nice as a kitten, and hurridly stowing that out of sight. When you wake in the morning, the naughtiness and evil passions with which you went to bed have been folded up small and placed at the bottom of your mind; and on top, beautifully aired, are spread out your prettier thoughts, ready for you to put on." ~J.M.Berrie, Peter Pan

If you like Peter Pan...
there's a new novel out!
It doesn't contradict Barrie's original stories like ALL the other prequels and sequels do... and it's based on Barrie's idea for more Pan adventure!
Click on my name to see!
BELIEVE!

I like Peter Pan just fine, however I don't like advertising on my blog!

So sorry! Just excited about it and wanted to spread the word. No harm meant, please forgive a zealous Pan fan! Best wishes.
