Book Reviews of Midnight In Never LandBook Review: I stayed up late reading, because I had to find out what happened... Summary: 5 Stars
What if there were some factual basis for a number of myths, a kernel of truth that led to Ponce de León's search for the fountain of youth, J.M. Barrie's tale of Peter Pan and the lost boys, and the existence of vampires, mermaids, lycanthropes, fairies, and sirens?
If you could imagine a world in which there was some small bit of truth behind these legends, and you were very, VERY creative and talented, you might come up with the wonderful novel that Perry Bradford-Wilson and Michael Norris have in `Midnight in Never Land.'
The book's action takes place in a completely believable world where mythological creatures exist side by side with historical fact, in the year 1805. There is an engaging back-story for the Peter Pan tale that we all know, but the book also keeps readers guessing as to what will happen next, and how it will all turn out. The connections between the book's events and various myths are ingenious, but it was the story-telling that had me staying up way too late, reading to find out what would happen to the characters.
Buy this book and read it, but don't say I didn't warn you: you WILL find yourself staying up late and neglecting your responsibilities in order to find out what happens to the characters!
Summary of Midnight In Never LandIt is 1805. The Captain of a British Man of War chases Napoleon's navy across the Atlantic to the islands of the French Caribbean. An Irish Missionary leaves his duties in the war torn revolutionary nation of Haiti to replenish his faith. A plantation owner and his family move from their London estate to the English frontier colony of Dominica.
