Speaking of which, I’ve been looking into audiobooks of classic novels on Audible since I now have a daughter. One of the books I came across is Peter Pan. First, it has a version read by Tim Curry; second, I remember Gertie and her mom reading Peter Pan aloud in the movie E.T. Well, it turns out the book Peter Pan (and the Disney film) is very much a product of its time. It is both very sexist and very racist by today’s standards. It’s not that I wouldn’t consider it a classic, but I would not read it to my child.

However off topic, I also didn’t like Frankenstein nor The Count of Monte Cristo. I loved Dracula, though.
