Hello! I'm writer, artist and researcher (doctorade) from Brazil, and my object is Peter Pan's story and its presence in my country: movies, books, etc. My focus is the literary version and its illustrators, but in relation to the other medias. In my studies, I didn't get a information which strikes my curiosity: it's about the origin of Peter's hat. I know there is some pictures that he doesn't have it at all, but in most of the figures, he wears a kind of hunter hat, and - most interesting! - there are some old illustrations where he's wearing a kind of elm (Robert Ingpen, Mabie Lucie Attwell)! Why? Could anyone answer me? Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english. I can read well but I can't write properly.
I'd like to invite you to know my blog: Peter Pan and Wendy's Project ( http://peterpanwendyprojeto.blogspot.com/ ). As illustrator, I'm making some drawings to an hipothetic publishing of Peter Pan in Brazil. This project makes part of my thesis. My blog is only in portuguese, but you can look at the pictures. Thanks.
