TIGER LILY

Before Wendy Darling, there was Tiger Lily, the first to capture the heart of Peter Pan. She was smart, headstrong, and, unlike other girls of the Sky Eaters tribe, she hunted, explored the island, climbed trees, and could easily pass for a boy. Cassandra Morris pours just the right mixture of curiosity and affection into Tink's voice as she tells Peter and Tiger Lily's story. The imaginary world of Neverland is made ever more convincing by Morris's animated portrayal of the Lost Boys, the mischievous and protective Peter, and the heartrending emotion in Tik Tok's love for his daughter, Tiger Lily. Despite the oddly youthful rendering of the pirates, Hook and Smee, this is an enchanting listening experience that will make listeners cry.
