Above and Below: Peter Pan as illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman. She also illustrated Caddie Woodlawn by Carol R Brink (which I loved so much that I signed my middle name as "Caddie" for my entire 2nd grade year. As I have a hyphenated last name, that made for one loooong heading.)

Peter Pan, one of my favorite books/plays and the partial namesake of this blog, has a generation spanning appeal. I grew up on the Mary Martin version but the 2003 adaptation is probably truest to the original. Despite terrible reviews I also love Hook, which in my opinion is the only movie to have gotten the appearance of flying right. As far as written work I don't think Barrie's original play can be topped. The novel, an adaptation of the play, has a darker undertone of which I'm not as fond. No-one can dispute the pervading playfulness of any of his works, however, which in the end captures our hearts.

The captions read "Liberace - refuses to poop in the rain", "Jonathan - is in the gift community", and "Simon - lied about his height on his passport."
