Fuck, this looks really familiar. I loved the Peter Rabbit books/cartoon as a kid. Not the crappy Gen Alpha 3d animation.

Anyone know why Pan is on the front cover of this children's book? I might of watched the cartoon of it as a kid, might of read the book. Can't remember but I do know I have seen it in some medium as a child.

I am this anon>>13820145

In the chapter "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" (the Pink Floyd album took it's name from this) the two main characters have a run in with Pan, demigod of the forest, in a super bizarre and delightful highlight of the book.

the best times of a persons life is when they're a kid or when they're achieving massive success at their peak and most people never get to experience the latter

Sounds pretty cool, I briefly read their are same basic philosophical themes so could be a nice simple read.

>>13820171
Massive success, does not alone equal to fame. And in the latter end of the cyclical degeneration of a cyclical existence/society fame no longer is a contingent of moral achievement.

It is a simple read, but a really good one. The prose is excellent and the sense of late 19th century English countryside is as good as any literature from the time.

I can imagine it's refreshing read, would you say this is a good description? And what age for a child to read it?

Not him, but I read it when I was about six.

Okay so fairly young.

Yeah, i'd say anywhere from 6-10 is probably ideal.

Will give it a read likely next week anon, I appreciate this.
