The Case of Peter Pan, or the Impossibility of Children's Fiction (New Cultural Studies)

This is a classic text, and I am astonished I didn't read it sooner. Enough scholarly criticism already exists on this book for a short review to be more or less unneeded, but a student of childhood in UK will fid. a great deal to think about here. The complex issues around the creation and marketing of Peter Pan are explored in detail, with an abundance of critical interconnections and a wealth of contemporary detail.

Rose offers a deep insightful way to deal with Peter Pan. A text used frequently for my English Literature degree.

I bought it as extra reading for my Children's Literature module with university. It helped and I recommend it for people studying Children's Literature. Heavy going but worth it.

Great book

This book is virtually essential reading if you are doing a children's literature degree. Thought provoking and very useful!
