This fantasy novel is a battle for the survival of the Nineteenth Universe and its key planet, Earth, by two Creative Spirits - who are friends and partners but also bitter opponents in this race - one of which wants to destroy Earth and one which is desperate to save Earth in order to radically reform it, particularly its education of children. The novel revolves round the well-known story of Peter Pan, the Eternal Child. An interplanetary Commission is hearing submissions from both sides and will ultimately decide the fate of Earth.
