Title : English Classics : Peter Pan
Author : J.M. Barrie
Summarization by : Agatha Silvi / XI MIPA 1
Mrs. Darling first heard of Peter when she was tidying up her children's minds. I don't know whether you have ever seen a map of a person's mind. There are zigzag lines on it, these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island. Of all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. Peter Pan who was said to live with fairies. It was in this casual way that Wendy one morning made a disquieting revelation. Some leaves of a tree had been found on the nursery floor, which certainly were not there when the children went to bed, and Wendy believe that it was Peter Pan. She explained in quite a matter-of-fact way that she thought Peter sometimes came to the nursery in the night and sat on the foot of her bed and played on his pipes to her. They were skeleton leaves, but she was sure they did not come from any tree that gree in England.
While she slept she had a dream. She dreamt that the Neverland had come too near and that strange boy had broken through from it. Mrs. Darling returned to the nursery, and found Nana with something in her mouth, which proved to be the boy's shadow. There was another light in the room now, a thousand times brighter than the night lights, and in the time we have taken to say this, it had been in all the drawers in the nursery, looking for Peter's shadow, rummaged the wardrobe and turned every pocket inside out. When it came to rest for a second you saw it was a fairy, no longer than your hand, but still growing. It was a girl called Tinker Bell exquisitely gowned in a skeleton leaf, cut low and square, through which her figure could be seen to the best advantage. Tink said that the shadow was in the big box. She meant the chest of drawers, and Peter jumped at the drawers, scattering their contents to the floor with both hands, as kings toss ha'pence to the crowd.
His sobs woke Wendy, and she sat up in bed. She was not alarmed to see a stranger crying on the nursery foor; she was only pleasantly interested. Peter could be exceeding polite also, having learned the grand manner at fairy ceremonies, and he rose and bowed to her beautifully. She was much pleased, and bowed beautifully to him from the bed. It is humiliating to have to confess that this conceit of Peter was one of his most fascinating qualities. To put it with brutal frankness, there never was a cockier boy. Wendy had lived such a home life that to know fairies struck her as quite delightful. She poured out questions about them, to his surprise, for they were rather a nuisance to him, getting in his way and so on, and indeed he sometimes had to give them a hiding.
