It's not certain that fairies don't exist...
Hi everyone, I would be really grateful for some help. I am currently translating Spanish fairy tales into English, and have come across the phrase 'it's not certain that fairies don't exist.' I have a feeling that the line appears somewhere in Peter Pan! Am I correct? If so, does anyone happen to know which Chapter?! Thank you lots for all your help.

Hello & Help
Hello, everyone::yawnb: i'm new here and i 'm from China. i read Peter Pan since i was 5 and it is my favorite book. Now i am more than 22 and i will graduate from our university in 2008. Right now i am preparing for my research paper and i chose the literature as the topic, and of course i decide Peter Pan as the literature work i would research on. However, i am not so good at writing. i am very worried about writing my paper for it should be 5,000 words(i have never written so many words) i have searched some resources from our library and somewhere else and i am still keeping researching. but there is limited source i can get just by myself, so i come here and ask for all of your help. i decide to research on the characters in Peter Pan, and the most i will discuss are Peter and Wendy. So would you like to share with me your thoughts about them or some resources? i will be very appreciate your help! Have a nice day!

Help needed, I am playing Wendy in Peter Pan
Hello, I was wondering whether everyone here who is into Peter Pan or has a child that is would mind telling me how they see Wendy. What qualities in terms of movement or personality should someone playing Wendy have? What do you feel Wendy's purpose is in the book? How were you first introduce to Peter Pan, was it through the numerous films, the play or the book? In terms of children would you think that there ideas about Peter Pan are shaped by the film first or the book? What other information do you feel it is necessary for me to know about Wendy? Sorry for all the questions, I have researched Peter Pan and the character of Wendy now from several different angles and I am determined to get the as culturally accurate as possible. I am sure (since I believe we all have a collective consciousness as well as an independent one) that there will be generally agreed things about Wendy but I am also interested in unusual thoughts about Wendy. Thank you :)

Do Wendy, Tinker Bell and Tiger Lily represent different women archetypes??
Do you think Wendy, Tinker Bell and Tiger Lily represent different women archetypes?? I read this somewhere but I can't find how this is true, all of them were jealous of each other because of Peter. If anyone knows anything about this, I'd really like to know. Thanks!!

The Lost Peter Pan Book ;)
Sir J.M. Barrie wrote a book called: The Boy Castaways of Black Lake Island. I would very much like to read this and I am sure many other Barrie fans would as well. It was a book about the adventures that he and "his boys" shared while he was alive. Sadly he only made two copies. One for the boys and one for himself. I still wonder whether these books were found and published. I have looked almost everywhere and now I ask anyone willing to answer: have you heard of this book? If so, are there any published? if so, where can I purchase it? Thanks for your help.

Your thoughts please
was anybody totaly appaled when wendy kissed peter in the 2003 movie and then he turned PINk and went hurling through the air? Or was it just me? i mean how could they do that and ruin it like that they never kiss in the book and mabey it would have been ok it they just kissed and the end but the pinkshooting star was realy bad. And anybody have any thoughts on why they never mention the last chapter of peter pan in like movies or even book adaptions? Does anybody know if they include that in the play or was it just for the book. cuz i would love to see the reaction of people when they see the real peter pan story. And after reading that did anybody (besides me again) took it like he was trying to say growing up is absolutly horrible and depressing Especialy the little pharagraph about what happened to the lost boys....? Anybody? :banana: :banana: :banana: thanx
