As an adult, I am finding that the book series in the Young Adult/Teen sections are just as engaging and suspenseful as any adult series that I have read. After reading the Harry Potter series, I was looking for another great series to sink my teeth into. I am a huge Disney fan and read the back of this and thought what an interesting concept to take the storyline of Peter Pan and start fresh. I loved Gregory Maguire's books and the twists that he does on tales (Wicked; Mirror, Mirror), so I thought I would try this series. I absolutely love this book! It's a new take on how Peter became the Peter Pan that we all know and love. It's a thrilling and suspenseful story and the beginning of a wonderful series. For adults, I highly recommend looking at the Kids sections for some great stories and series.
I love this book. I bought it wrapped and thought it was strictly about William and Catherine. It's not. Beautiful pictures and articles about several other royal weddings over the years, including TRH Crown Prince and Princesses of Denmark, Norway, Spain and the Netherlands. Also includes, Rainier and Grace, Charles and Diana and the Queen and Prince Philip. I collect anything royal and just love this beautiful book with pictures I have never seen and learned a lot of behind the scenes of royal weddings, including the fact that the ABBA song "Dancing Queen" was written about the current Queen of Sweden, for their wedding in 1976! Highly recommend this book for anyone who loves royalty the way I do.
