What I want to know is WHY do they have Peter Pan being played by a girl when the role is that of a boy? Now that's just wrong. I tried to watch the recent live version of Peter pan and found I had a problem seeing a girl play the part of Peter.

@Wolfie: if you mean, THE Mary Stewart, I'd say you're correct. Is that what we're talking about here?
Yes, The Mary Stewart and I've not seen or read about any legal eBook version of her Arthurian Legend books. I had a look around the net and did not find such. So yes, the version up on Smashwords is illegal as it's not authorized by Mary Stewart.
