There is something universally appealing about J.M. Barrie’s ode to enduring childhood, Peter Pan, and the imaginary world of Neverland located “second to the right, and straight on till morning.”* A beloved children’s classic, my appreciation for Peter Pan started at a young age – as demonstrated by this Halloween picture from 1989 (with my […]
