confussion!

I recently did a research paper on Lewis Carroll, I used a book called Inventing Wonderland. It also has several veery fascinating sections involving other children authors, including J.M Barrie

Barrie writes the original peter pan but Speilburg does the movie hook

The person who wrote Hook is Jim V. Hart - who was inspired by his son, Jake, asking him "what if Peter Pan grew up."<br><br>Brooks was hired to write the novelization of the screenplay by Hart and others.

I'm sure this comes too late, but while JM Barrie's life had a huge influence on Peter Pan (I did an extensive research paper on this), Terry Brooks would not provide you as much a correlation as the driving force behind HOOK, Steven Speilberg. Finding out why this was such a beloved story to him (He even uses it directly in ET) would be more useful as Speilberg was more responsible for the direction of the film the the writer of the novelization/screenplay

Look for the screenplay of the movie "Hook"- not the book of the movie "Hook" inorder to find who wrote the movie "Hook"
