Peter Pan Projects
I did like the Disney movie when I was a kid, but I could only really appreciate J.M. Barrie's fairy tale when I was a little older. Since then, I'm intrigued by the story and it's different adaptations. We're lucky that a lot of new approaches are being made, but older ones are included in my list too. Suggestions are always welcome.
