Strands #129
“In Neverland”

Hi Strands fans. Today's one started off simply enough. To me, "In Neverland" can only refer to Peter Pan, and when I saw HOOK spelt on the left-hand side, I felt confident enough to get the spangram: PETERPAN.
But I quickly realized that I don't actually know Peter Pan very well. What do I know about it, other than Captain Hook?
Well, there's a CROCODILE, so I looked for that, and happily found it in the bottom half of the board.
There must be PIRATES, too, right? Yep: there's that answer in the bottom left, which thankfully leaves a straight line through LAGOON below the spangram, as I don't think I'd have got that otherwise.
The top half was a bit of a mystery to me. Eventually I unravelled MERMAID in the top right, but that was a lucky break, because I didn't know there were mermaids in Peter Pan.
That only left one answer to figure out. I was eventually able to spell DARLING in the top-left corner. Looking this up after, that's apparently the last name of the main family, so there's a new fact for me to forget...
