Petit Diamant, le dragon, la Vallée des Rubis
by Valerie Pike Agnes RuizIl y avait le souffle d’un dragon, au sommet d’une Montagne Solitaire. C’était un jeune dragon appelé Petit Diamant. C’était le seul dragon au monde capable de produire des rubis à partir de ses écailles. Chaque fois qu’il faisait ses écailles rouges ou quand il pleurait, des rubis tombaient sur le sol. Petit Diamant devait préserver son trésor de rubis des dragons envieux, ce qui l’obligeait à rester dans sa grotte. Il avait des pointes toxiques indigo sur sa queue. Une fois par an, sa mère, Queue Noire, revenait de Lapen pour prendre les rubis qui remplissaient la grotte de Petit Diamant pour les mettre en sécurité dans la Vallée des Rubis. La Vallée était une zone de terre basse entre les montagnes. Lapen, niché parmi les plus hautes montagnes du monde, était le lieu de naissance de Petit Diamant. C’est là que vivait la famille de sa mère. Queue Noire effaçait les traces derrière elle lorsqu’elle volait haut vers le repaire caché de Petit Diamant. Les rubis brillaient d’une teinte rouge vif qui pouvait être vue de très loin. Petit Diamant savait que sa mère viendrait les chercher. Elle n’était pas venue la semaine précédente. La princesse Pénélope pourrait trouver des gemmes rouges au bas de la Montagne Solitaire. Elle devait bientôt se marier au prince Valentin. Le grand mariage du courageux Valentin et de la belle Pénélope se dérouleraient plus tard ce jour-là et Petit Diamant voulait y assister avec sa mère. De son repaire près d’un volcan inactif, Furie, la collectionneuse d’or repéra la lueur des rubis. Furie était une dragonne avide qui convoitait les bijoux précieux et les objets brillants par-dessus tout. Son lit était fait d’or et de trésors qu’elle avait volés. Elle reposait sur d’innombrables pièces d’or. Elle avait des ailes de chauve-souris pleine d’écailles vert forêt et des griffes puissantes. Sa longue queue se terminait par une

Peter y Wendy: Edicion Del Centenario (Coleccion Cuentos Universales)
by J. M. BarrieLos mejores libros jamás escritos. «Todos los niños crecen, menos uno.» Poco imaginaba J.M. Barrie cuando escribió la obra de teatro Peter Pan que un siglo más tarde el mito del niño que no quería crecer seguiría cautivando a jóvenes y mayores por igual. Publicada años más tarde como novela bajo el título de Peter y Wendy, su universo es omnipresente en el imaginario colectivo. Barrie apela a nuestros sueños de infancia con una dulzura y un genio imaginativo capaces de llevarnos de la risa al llanto en pocas páginas. La vida del autor, marcada por la muerte de su hermano, está presente en todo momento. Él mismo confesaría que su más profundo deseo hubiera sido recuperar los años felices de su infancia, y que su más célebre personaje era una personificación de tales anhelos. Esta cuidada edición introducida y anotada por Silvia Herreros de Tejada, especialista en J.M. Barrie, es la mejor oportunidad para dejarse llevar por la fantasía del país de Nunca Jamás.

Peter Pan's Shadows in the Literary Imagination (Children's Literature and Culture)
by Kirsten StirlingThis book is a literary analysis of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan in all its different versions -- key rewritings, dramatisations, prequels, and sequels -- and includes a synthesis of the main critical interpretations of the text over its history. A comprehensive and intelligent study of the Peter Pan phenomenon, this study discusses the book’s complicated textual history, exploring its origins in the Harlequinade theatrical tradition and British pantomime in the nineteenth century. Stirling investigates potential textual and extra-textual sources for Peter Pan, the critical tendency to seek sources in Barrie’s own biography, and the proliferation of prequels and sequels aiming to explain, contextualize, or close off, Barrie’s exploration of the imagination. The sources considered include Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s Starcatchers trilogy, Régis Loisel’s six-part Peter Pan graphic novel in French (1990-2004), Andrew Birkin’s The Lost Boys series, the films Hook (1991), Peter Pan (2003) and Finding Neverland (2004), and Geraldine McCaughrean’s "official sequel" Peter Pan in Scarlet (2006), among others.
