Peter Pan

hello friends,

 Me and my group are reading the book ” Peter Pan ” by James.M.Barrie.

Let me tell you all some thing about the author.James.M.Barrie was born in 1860 in the lowland village of Kirriemuir,in Forfashire.His father,David Barri was a handloom weaver and mother Margaret Ogivily,the daughter of a stone man.They had ten children and Jamie was the ninth,as he was called,heard tales of pirates from his mother.At the age of 13,barrie left his village home and joined a school.At school,he became interested in theatre and devoured works by such authors Jules Verne, Mayne Reid, and James Fenimore Cooper.During World War I Barrie made a western film with his literary friends, starring Shaw, William Archer, G.K. Chesterton, etc. Peter Pan was produced for the stage in 1904 but the play had to wait several years for a definitive printed version and it did not appear as a narrative story until 1911. The book was titled PETER AND WENDY. In the novel’s epilogue Peter visits a grown-up Wendy.

This was a brief about the author.dont you all want to know the story?Let me give you a brief about the story !

This story is about a couple Mr.& Mrs.Darling,who had three naughty children Wendy,Michael and John.They had a nurse for the three children named Nana.They lives at 14(their house number on the street).Mr. Darling used to boast to his children that her mother not only loved him but respected him.Nana also loved the children very much.There never was a simpler happier family until the coming of Peter Pan.

Mrs. Darling first heard of Peter when she was tidying up her children’s minds. At first Mrs. Darling did not know, but after thinking back into her childhood she just remembered a Peter Pan who was said to live with the fairies. There were odd stories about him, as that when children died he went part of the way with them, so that they should not be frightened. She had believed in him at the time, but now that she was married and full of sense she quite doubted whether there was any such person.

Mrs.Darling and Nana saw Peter Pan and tried to catch him,but he escaped.But they could catch the shadow of Peter Pan.Mrs.Darling decided to hide this from her husband till she got a chance to tell her husband.

when Mrs. Darling was dreaming the window of the nursery blew open and a boy did drop on the floor. He had a strange light in his hand. When she saw the boy, she started crying, and somehow she knew at once he was Peter Pan.Mrs.darling returned to the nursery, and found Nana with something in her mouth, which proved to be the boy’s shadow. As he leapt at the window Nana had closed it quickly, too late to catch him, but his shadow had not had time to get out; slam went the window and snapped it off. She decided to hang the shadow on the window,but unfortunately she could leave the shadow hanging on the window,it looked so like the washing and lowered the whole ton eof th ehouse.She thought of showing it to Mr.Darling but he was busy totting up winter great – coats for the Children.She decided to roll the shadow up and put it away carefully in a drawer, until a fitting opportunity came for telling her husband. Ah me!
The opportunity came a week later, on that never-to-be- forgotten Friday. Of course it was a Friday.

 Did Mrs.Darling tell her husband about the shadow? Dont you want to know?

Me and my group will enact the story in the calss.
