I wanted an excuse to nominate it because I would like to hear others thoughts about this story. I'm guessing that the narrator's motives and morals could - in these modern cynical times - come into question, because there is something of the stalker in the man's behaviour. But can we see him as a well intentioned stalker? There is, I think, much to talk about in this book.

I just ran across an interesting article about Barrie in the
New Yorker; it has insightful commentary on
The Little White Bird in itself and in the context of Barrie's life.
