 DescriptionWhen Peter Pan arrives at the Darling home, he teaches Wendy, John and Michael to fly. They journey to Neverland, the country where the lost boys live who never grow up. There are mermaids and redskins and pirates, the most evil and terrible of whom is Captain James Hook. Author descriptionJames Matthew Barrie was born in 160 near Dundee in Scotland. He was the son of a weaver. He was educated at Glasgow Academy, Dumfries Academy and Edinburgh University. After working as a journalist in Nottingham he went to London and wrote for various newspapers and journals there. Between 1891 and 1902 Barrie published several successful novels and plays. PETER PAN, his greatest work, was first performed as a play in 1904. Although the original idea for PETER PAN appeared in an earlier adult novel, THE LITTLE WHITE BIRD, the full 'story' version for children was not set down on paper until 1911. J. M. Barrie died in 1937. |
