greatest adventure books image

I haven't read Peter Pan in several years, but I only remember the quote "To die would be an awfully great adventure" is the live quote in the book? If so where specifically what scene. Thank.
I just read the last 30 pages of Peter Pan and it's not one of the last sayings. Is it from the play or the first Peter Pan in the gardens book?
Answer
Actually, it's not in the last scenes, but there you might find the final moral of the story, where they turn the saying around and make it into: "To live would be an awfully great adventure."
The quote you are talking about appears in the middle of the book when Wendy and Peter are stuck on the rock in the ocean with the tide coming in. I believe the chapter is titled "The Kite", because Peter saves Wendy by tying the kite around her hip and letting her fly towards the shore.
Because he is a gentleman, he stays behind, ready to die for her. That's when he says: "To die would be an awfully great adventure!"

What are some great adventure books where the protagonist is crafty?
Harvey
an adventure book based on real life, something that you could possibly get yourself into if you were there and you've got some engineering or researching or investigative skills to counter conflict possibly as a scientist.
Answer
The protagonists in these are not so much crafty as they are instinctive, intuitive survivors....Blades and Dangerous Days, both by J. William Turner. Realistic fiction in the first-person about Australian teens in several tense, dramatic, life and death situations set in many parts of Australia, plus California and England, and dealing with teenage, adult and social themes. The plot of each novel unfolds as a series of four-stories-in-one in normal hardcover (and on Kindle + e-reader devices via Smashwords) as two professional guys recall the troubles, adventures and life lessons of their youth, and how these have shaped their lives.
These two series of sub-stories are also available singly on Kindle and other e-readers via Smashwords under their individual names, Street Kid, High Country, California Dreaming, Aftermath, Storm Ridge, Paddle Hard, Outback Heroes, and Enemies Within.
