Thanks for commenting on my post!

Yes, as you say it is a bit surprising to know the story behind the tales we know, also is interesting to know something about the author.
I totally agree with you. I think it is a good activity to do with our students, so another good activity will be maybe to create a new end or the story that follow the tale we know. On the other hand, as I do in this post , other good activity will be to investigate about the author.

The idea of a winner or a competition is great for their motivation!

As I say before, thank you for commenting.

To read this post for me has been very interesting, because as you say all of us know the Adventures of Peter Pan, but in my case I haven`t heard nothing about the real story of Peter Pan and neither about his writter. It is very shocked to know the real story and why Barrie writes Peter Pan.
Related with this, maybe we can propose in our class that students make their own story based on any fairytale that they know well. I think that it could be interesting and also motivating for them to create their own story and then tell to their partners. The best story could be the winner and could be published in the corridor of the school or in their class.
Thank you for your post, I really enjoy it.
Regards

Glad that my post make you learned a little more about my favorite story, and the author of course.

I totally agree.
I think most of the books authors let something from them, maybe they are equal to the characters of the story, or maybe you found situations or even stories of his own life in their books. Many wil may try to hidethis evidence (who would say that Peter Pan can be almost mirroring a real person)
But I think they all do a job fnatastico making us dream!…so in that case, what does it matter?

I agree with you in your thought about that Barrie is reflected in the book and also the relationship with Wendy has now more sense than before reading your post.

Maybe all the writers of literature for children left some of their experiences in the book because it is difficult to create a fiction story from a paper in blank without taking some “real” situations into account and have it as a base to start or develop a new part of your book. But the writers are clever enough to hide all that things from the story and camouflage them.

Thanks a lot for discover this story!
