Peter and Wendell

I was going to say that enjoyment of this could be contingent on your familiarity and appreciation for [b:Peter Pan 34268 Peter Pan J.M. Barrie https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1337714526l/34268.SX50.jpg 1358908] however I'm neither and liked it. [a:Todd Scott 5695037 Todd Scott https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] delivers a really good audio of [a:Bonnie Dee 1166851 Bonnie Dee https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1453816802p2/1166851.jpg]'s clever reimagining of the tale of the boy who wouldn't grow up set in late Victorian days. Peter Woods has decided he wants to remain young and care-free forever until he meets Wendell Rhodes, a staid banker. Each chapter starts with a quote from the original story and (as far as I can tell) it follows the beats of Barrie's tale complete with characters who mirror those in the original. Peter Pan syndrome has never appealed to me and I'm not too sold on why Wendell whose solid, with a deep sense of duty would so immediately and irrevocably be attracted to Peter who's kind of feckless but opposites attract and all that so ... I wish them well.Notes to myself In the AB there were a couple of instances where Peter's surname inexplicably became Rhodes and the voice for Peter himself (while sounding authentic to who Peter was and the times) can make him sound off putting? kind of supercilious or prissy?
