Présentation de l'éditeur :
This is the origin story Peter Pan deserves. Even before he was the boy we all know and love, he was called David- and was already doing the impossible. St. Augustine’s fences, covered in an icy black tar and tall enough to touch the clouds, were supposed to keep the orphan boys from escaping. Yet David decided to accept the challenge and was already at the top. From so far up, the treetops were within reach, the sky felt closer and the world felt open to him for the first time. And the grown-ups looked like tiny dots. After losing all of his friends to the cold world that was Edwardian London, he was determined to find a way out of it, to rise above it to the world he truly wished to live in. A world where anything was possible, even to never grow up. So in the moment before he jumped off the top, with his fingers sparkling with warm, golden dust and armed with a lovely thought, he knew that this was the only way to escape the world he despised and begin his journey to Neverland. Utilizing the source material as much as possible, this story shows the beginnings of the "Boy who would never grow up" the way it could have happened.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
The stars lit up the London night sky like stage lights, priming the stage for Peter’s first flight. His fingers peeled the paint off of the sill as he looked out over the yards and smokestacks, the carriages and motorcars rumbling along the cobbled streets. Out of all of the fine things he accomplished, this was definitely the most dificult. Even with Tinkerbell cheering into his ear, his feet still dangled off of the edge percariously and his knees shook violently. Then he remembered how he had believed in the impossible. How he had escaped from the orphanage, twice. How he had ventured forth into the Edwardian London and laughed in its face. And how he was going to leave it all to where only believers dared to fly. This story is how Peter Pan learned to believe in the impossible. This is Second to the Right.
