#59. The Child Thief by Brom

Title:

The Child Thief

Author:

Brom

Genre:

Fantasy

Synopsis:

A re-telling of Peter Pan that focuses on the dark possibilities of the myth – what is the fate of the children who follow Peter to Never Never Land? Where do they all come from and how does he convince them to join him?

Verdict:

Grim, fascinating, rich and nicely mixed with more traditional faerie legends. The reality of conflict and the harsh violence that surrounds makes the horror at the situation of these enamoured children all the more effective.
