Come to think of it, it's the book of my adulthood too. It's a book which, in the reading of it, takes me back to editions that I've had and lost, with various illustrators' work in them. It brings back moments sitting reading it with my mother. It brings back my first contact with the Disney cartoon. It brings back standing in the play-yard when I was a kid, when the wind was really blowing, and closing my eyes, spreading my arms and pretending I could fly. It brings back childhood dreams of flying. It brings back the first encounter I ever had with an invented world... Never Never Land was really the first journey I took to an invented world which I believed in wholly and completely. I remember the immense solidarity that I felt with the Lost Boys, with Peter, with the Indians - how much I wanted to be a Red Indian - how much the saving of Tiger Lily meant to me as a kid, how much I wanted to one day wake up and save an Indian squaw from drowning.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Clive Barker" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/clive-barker/peter-pan-has-to-be-the-book-of-my-childhood-come-to-think-of-it-it-s/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e9e/clive-barker-773_books_peter-pan-has-to-be-the-book-of-my-child_703105.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e9e/clive-barker-773_books_peter-pan-has-to-be-the-book-of-my-child_703105.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e9e/clive-barker-773_books_peter-pan-has-to-be-the-book-of-my-child_703105.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Peter Pan has to be the book of my childhood.
