Patty was not quite like other girls; but she was afraid at last. A tremour ran through her, like a shudder passing over the sea; but on the sea one shudder follows another till there are hundreds of them, and Patty felt just the one. Next moment she was standing erect on the rock again, with that smile on her face and a drum beating within her. It was saying, "To die will be an awfully big adventure." Follow the adventures of Patty Pan and Walter as they fly to Neverland together to battle pirates, swim with mermaids, and celebrate with native warriors, in this transconceived edition of the J. M. Barrie classic, Peter and Wendy. This work of literature has been transconceived. What this means is that all the male characters from the original have been changed into female characters, and vice versa. None of the things they say and do have been changed, and neither have their roles and situations in the society of the time. If you are familiar with the original work, or with the time period in which it is set, you may need to adjust your mind frequently as you read, to accept and adapt to the altered gender roles. You may find this experience delightful or disconcerting. But I invite you and your family to transconceive this work of literature with me, and share your experiences.
