  • Abstract:
  • Since the birth of mankind literature has been an inevitable component of the six sense creature. Throughout the history mankind has tumbled with a lot of evolution. The life and world of children were captured very early in the beginning since literature was quiet busy in teaching moralities to mankind. But the need to capture the world of child was ruminated over the years. It gave the birth of Children’s Literature. Works written for children include stories, books, magazines, and poems. This category is known as juvenile literature or children's literature. Both genre and reader age are used to categorize contemporary children's literature, which ranges from young adult novels to picture books for the very young. Fairy tales, which were first recognized as children's literature in the seventeenth century, and songs, which are a part of a larger oral tradition that adults shared with children before publication existed, are examples of traditional stories that can be linked to children's literature. It is challenging to track the evolution of early children's literature prior to the invention of printing. As John F.Kennedy forthwith “Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.” Life has never been hard but it was seen as. Life of child is always been an inspiration to the entire adult life. According to Joyce Whalley in The International Companion Encyclopedia of Children's Literature, "an illustrated book differs from a book with illustrations in that a good illustrated book is one where the pictures enhance or add depth to the text." (Hunt) This paper is a specific study of J.M.Barrie’s Peter Pan as a proto-world of children. ‘Peter Pan is a fable of modernity, anxiously negotiating industrial technologies that produced a middle class predicated on instability and which encoded impossible roles for men and women’(Wilson 8).
