About this resource
Read the opening family scenes of Chapter I in J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. Wendy’s discovery that children grow up sits beside Mr Darling’s calculations and Nana’s unusual role as nurse. Compare these domestic details: the passage can make family care seem affectionate, anxious and comic at once. Distinguish what the narrator reports from the judgement you bring to it.
