J. Emily Somma's AFTER THE RAIN brings the magic of J. M. Barrie's loveable character Peter Pan into harmony with contemporary children. Feeling outgrown and forgotten in modern times, Peter releases... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Peter Pan is specifically mentioned in UK copyright law; it never goes out of copyright there, and royalties go to some random hospital. In the rest of the world, it's in the public domain. That's why Somma could write this book. Health care in the UK is funded by the UK government. Some morons here think that the rest of the world ought to subsidise the UK taxpayer because of this bizarre law. I see no reason why I would want to do this. If I want to help children, I'll give money to Oxfam. Perhaps that's what Somma does. At any rate, I am only rating this book a 5 to counter out all the people who gave it one star for bogus copyright reasons.
You've gotta read this!

I really enjoy books about fairy tales and My aunt got me "After the Rain..." I read it in a couple nights. It was really good... I really like the part where Peter makes a new fairy named Oliver... There were lots of other neat things that happen and I think that if you like to escape to imaginary places in books you'll like where this book takes you!
