Peter Pan: Les plus beaux contes pour enfants

Écrit par J. M. Barrie

Raconté par François Perier

Ce vendredi soir, la voie est libre pour Peter Pan, le petit garçon qui refuse de grandir : Mr et Mrs Darling sont absents et la chienne Nana, qui tient lieu de nurse à leurs enfants Wendy, John et Michael, a été enchaînée dans le jardin.
Venu récupérer son ombre abandonnée lors d’une précédente visite, Peter se trouve face à Wendy. Avide des histoires qu’elle pourra lui raconter et du rôle de mère, fantasmé, qu'elle pourrait accomplir, il la persuade de le suivre jusqu’au Pays imaginaire (Neverland).
Peter Pan est un personnage fictif créé par l'auteur écossais J. M. Barrie, apparu pour la première fois dans le roman The Little White Bird (Le Petit Oiseau Blanc), en 1902.
Un véritable conte allégorique, toujours aussi actuel.

J. M. Barrie

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) was a Scottish novelist and playwright. Born in Kirriemuir, Barrie was raised in a strict Calvinist family. At the age of six, he lost his brother David to an ice-skating accident, a tragedy which left his family devastated and led to a strengthening in Barrie’s relationship with his mother. At school, he developed a passion for reading and acting, forming a drama club with his friends in Glasgow. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, he found work as a journalist for the Nottingham Journal while writing the stories that would become his first novels. The Little White Bird (1902), a blend of fairytale fiction and social commentary, was his first novel to feature the beloved character Peter Pan, who would take the lead in his 1904 play Peter Pan; or the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, later adapted for a 1911 novel and immortalized in the 1953 Disney animated film. A friend of Robert Louis Stevenson, George Bernard Shaw, and H. G. Wells, Barrie is known for his relationship with the Llewelyn Davies family, whose young boys were the inspiration for his stories of Peter Pan’s adventures with Wendy, Tinker Bell, and the Lost Boys on the island of Neverland.
