Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe I've just seen the Disney movie (which has almost nothing to do with the book, I know) too many times.
Ah, that would do it. I like the Disney movie too, but AiW is one of the books I was raised on. I have a fierce and almost irrational love for it.
It's a dark freaking book. The baby TURNS INTO A PIG.
As ita says, it wasn't a nice baby.

Suddenly wants Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and/or Through the Looking Glass
OK, maybe not so suddenly.
I'd more than settle for Terry Gilliam's.

Tim is working on Alice in Wonderland! It's his next movie. I'm trying to figure out if I know anyone at all that could get me onto the set as an extra. Because, eeeee! Tim Burton and Alice in Wonderland!

The status is NOT quo.
I know!! So exciting. (If you get on the set, I shall be terribly jealous. Terribly happy for you, but also terribly jealous.)

(Those are Through the Looking Glass, I think.)
It wasn't a nice baby.
Being a pig was probably its finest hour.

Have you read the real Peter Pan yet, Aimee? I imagine you'll have a similar reaction to that. Children's books used to be a whole helluva lot darker than they are now.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
LOVE Peter Pan. But I knew the book before I knew the movie on that one, also.

Ah! Makes sense, then. I remember thinking that Peter was such an utter TWIT when I read it, but I still adore it. Plus, the real Tinker Bell cracks me up.
