Is it impulsive and foolish? Yes – even Wendy thinks so. He cajoles Wendy into fixing his torn jacket and, along with a tough-looking friend named Tinkerbelle who’s waiting outside, he convinces her to come along to a party. Then, lo and behold, a young man breaks in through her second floor window! We know who he is, of course, although this incarnation of Pan is noticeably scruffy and quite annoyed that the formerly abandoned house, now freshly rehabbed and sold to the Darling family, is fully occupied. After a round of frustrated arguing, she is banished to her bedroom as her parents head out for the night. The boys on the island vary, of course, in numbers, according as they get killed and so on and when they seem to be growing up, which is against the rules, Peter thins them out.Īncrum’s hero is Wendy Darling, a teen newly arrived in Chicago and chafing at her protective parents who won’t allow her to meet up with her online pal Eleanor who lives locally. Ancrum opens Darling, her dark and mysterious take on Peter Pan, she offers up an epigraph from Barrie’s Peter Pan and Wendy as a hint of what’s to come.
