"God has given us memories so that we can

have roses of June in the December of our life“

James Mathew Barrie

AUTHOR
James Matthew Barrie
Born into a family of artisans with limited resources, he
had an unhappy childhood. The death of a brother, when
he was only six years old, profoundly altered family life
and disrupted the mental health of his mother, who
became an unbalanced, authoritarian and inflexible
person, whose influence and memory weighed on James
Barrie during the rest of his life. After becoming a famous
writer, he himself would confess many times that his
deepest desire would have been to recover the happy years
of his early childhood, and that his most famous character,
Peter Pan, was a personification of such longings.
 Author of a series of autobiographical novels, since
1890 he wrote for the theater: Walker, London
(1893), Quality Street (1902), The Admirable
Crichton (1902) and What Every Woman Knows
(1908). He is remembered however as the creator
of Peter Pan (1904) other of his titles are Dear
Brutus (1917) and Mary Rose (1920). Peter Pan or
the child who did not want to grow, was originally a
play that the author later transformed into a story.

Peter pan:Peter Pan is a pre-adolescent of about 11 to 16 years,
thin, with blond hair and green eyes, who wears a suit made with
vegetable matter and things found in the jungle of Neverland. He also
carries a dagger that he usually uses as an offensive weapon and a Pan
flute. In the novel, Peter has an immature personality, self-centered,
selfish and, sometimes, cruel because he lives doing what he wants
without any real responsibility ; That is why he has a terrible fear of
becoming an adult and living in a world full of rules and limits.
WENDY DARLING
She is a beautiful 12-year-old girl who dreams
of a wolf cub on a rare island that seems to
combine forest and jungle. Peter Pan appears
in his dreams but it is not until several days
later when he really knows him.
CAMPANILLA
It was the fairy that adopted and raised Peter
Pan, and possibly the cause of it being a bit
presumptuous. She is very jealous, vain and
overprotective, so much so that she comes to
encourage the Lost Children to attack Wendy,
telling them that it is a bird that Peter wants them
to eliminate.

James Garfio, a famous and feared pirate to whom Peter Pan
cut off his right hand and fed it to a giant crocodile, and he
liked the taste of the captain so much that he follows him
everywhere to devour him. From that moment, Hook uses a
hook as a right hand and also uses it as a weapon when
fighting. The crew accuses its captain of having forgotten the
activities of pirates, such as stealing and plundering, as they
spend the day searching for Peter Pan's hiding place to kill
him.
