Peter Pan The Fairy Tale

Peter Pan is a fairy tale created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie (1860–1937).The tale is of a mischievous boy that can fly and through magic, never gets any older. As a young boy, he has gathered a bunch of boys into a gang. Peter and his gang live on a small island called Neverland. They all spend most of their time having adventures with pirates and fairies even though they do sometimes meet ordinary children from the outside world.

Peter has many personality traits that are not very nice. He is boastful, cocky and careless and is always telling everyone how great he is. He has a 'devil may care' attitude. Some of his better qualities are that He is very brave especially in the face of death. He says 'To die will be an awfully big adventure'. One of the issues that Peter is very sensitive about is 'growing up'. He fears that being an adult will not be any 'fun'.
