Peter Pan

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I'm reading Peter Pan now. I like how the author described the scene where Peter first appears. Mrs. Darling had been dozing in one corner of the nursery, dreaming, when Peter flies in through the window.
Oooh. Not quite the same image of Peter Pan Disney painted.
I like it.

The dream by itself would have been a trifle, but while she was dreaming the window of the nursery blew open, and a boy did drop on the floor. He was accompanied by a strange light, no bigger than your fist, which darted about the room like a living thing; and I think it must have been this light that wakened Mrs. Darling.
She started up with a cry, and saw the boy, and shomehow she knew at once that he was Peter Pan. If you or I or Wendy had been there we should have seen that he was very like Mrs. Darling's kiss. He was a lovely boy, clad in skeleton leaves and the juices that ooze out of trees; but the most entrancing thing about him was that he had all his first teeth. When she saw she was a grown-up, he gnashed the little pearls at her.
Oooh. Not quite the same image of Peter Pan Disney painted.
I like it.
