Well, I've read two of the books on your list--Peter Pan and The Little Prince. I'll admit, I bawled at the end of The Little Prince.
Also, I read Peter Pan in Scarlet, and was very pleasantly surprised. I thought it fit Barrie's sense of humor and sadness quite well. So yes, go out and get a copy.
I knew you'd know Peter Pan well. I think we share a very similar affinity for the main character. :) I tend to see him as mythic drama to be followed as closely as possible.
I have a copy of in Scarlet now, and I think I'll go back and re-read Pan first before I delve into it.
Of course, the book was where it belonged: in the children's section. Even if I'm not sure that Pan is really a children's book, much like The Little Prince.
Oh, you might be amused by this: I used to constantly get The Little Prince mixed up in my mind with The Prince. . .
I don't understand you, not even a little bit. But you delight me. You used to annoy me, tbh. I wonder if I've just gotten used to your posts. Maybe I've lightened up. Probably both.
And yeah, gotta love that movie. I sometimes wonder, though, if I don't get the impression that foreign films are better than they really are. . . just because I can't understand the words in the film. I imagine that covers up a lot of wooden acting :)

I'm glad I can delight you. The more women (well, and people in general) I can delight the happier I am.

But a brilliant movie, yes.
