Peter Pan, Chapter I. PETER BREAKS THROUGH, sentence 72

Of all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed.

Who acts: Neverland, you · What happens: be, know, cram · To what, where: snuggest most compact
