Peter Pan kommt aus Schottland
Wusstest du, dass Peter Pan ein Schotte ist? Sein Schöpfer J. M. Barrie verwandelte eigene Kindheitserlebnisse in die berühmte Figur.

Peter Pan’s fantastical life and adventures represents a dream world for many. But revisit [JM] Barrie’s stories, and readers will find that while he filled his works with wonder and magic, the author also relied on and spread racist tropes.

The best of our fiction is by novelists who allow that it is as good as they can give, and the worst by novelists who maintain that they could do much better if only the public would let them.
J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]

If you ask your mother whether she knew about Peter Pan when she was a little girl she will say, “Why, of course, I did, child,” and if you ask her whether he rode on a goat in those days she will say, “What a foolish question to ask; certainly he did.” Then if you ask your grandmother whether she knew about Peter Pan when she was a girl, she also says, “Why, of course, I did, child,” but if you ask her whether he rode on a goat in those days, she says she never heard of his having a goat. Perhaps she has forgotten, just as she sometimes forgets your name and calls you Mildred, which is your mother’s name. Still, she could hardly forget such an important thing as the goat. Therefore there was no goat when your grandmother was a little girl. This shows that, in telling the story of Peter Pan, to begin with the goat (as most people do) is as silly as to put on your jacket before your vest.
Of course, it also shows that Peter is ever so old, but he is really always the same age, so that does not matter in the least.J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]

Wise children always choose a mother who was a shocking flirt in her maiden days, and so had several offers before she accepted their fortunate papa.

As you look at Wendy, you may see her hair becoming white, and her figure little again, for all this happened long ago. Jane is now a common grown-up, with a daughter called Margaret; and every spring cleaning time, except when he forgets, Peter comes for Margaret and takes her to the Neverland, where she tells him stories about himself, to which he listens eagerly. When Margaret grows up she will have a daughter, who is to be Peter’s mother in turn; and thus it will go on, so long as children are gay and innocent and heartless.

PETER: Who’s Captain Hook? Is it a story? Tell it me.
WENDY: (aghast) Do you mean to say you’ve even forgotten Captain Hook, and how you killed him and saved all our lives?
PETER: (fidgeting) I forget them after I kill them.J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
