[A] fresh edition of the charmingly arch 1958 novel by Mary Chase... --Meghan Cox Gurdon, The Wall Street Journal The poignancy of Peter Pan lingers over this fantasy, but it has its own special charm, the charm of unabashed fancy and resounding good sense, which made the author's Harvey a favorite of adult audiences. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Surely, Loretta Mason Potts will take her place among the memorable characters of children's literature and her story should be a favorite for a long time to come. --Chicago Daily Tribune
