My Story is becoming a problem, LOL

As I was about to narrow down which story I wanted to illustrate for our exchange, I realized I have a bit of a problem on my hands...first off, I was torn between Peter Pan and The Wizard of Oz. Secondly, both stories are kind of long...not that I wouldn't end up with a condensed version anyway...but it's kind of impossible to include any sort of print out to each of you in case you've never read the story, when they are over a hundred pages. So what do I do?? With both books...there is A LOT of information to read through. How are the rest of you handling this sort of thing...or did you all pick nice short stories and I had to be the difficult one, LOL??
