A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

England, in the year 1893 in the reign which seemed in those days to have been going on for ever and to be likely to go on for evermore of Queen Victoria, there was born a little boy named Peter. Peter was a novel name then; he was before the great crop of Peters who derived their name from Peter Pan. He was born with some difficulty. His father, who had not been to bed all night, for the trouble of the birth had begun overnight at about nine oclock, was walking about in the garden in a dewy dawn, thinking the world very dreadful and beautiful, when he first heard Peter cry. Peter, he thought, made a noise like a little frightened hen that something big had caught. .. .P eter smother had been moaning but now she moaned no more, and Peter sfather stood outside and whispered Oh, God! Oh! Damn them and damn them! why dont they tell me? Then the nurse put her head out of the window; it was a casement window with white roses about it; said Everything sall right. Ill tell you when to come in, and vanished again. Peter sfather turned about very sharply so that she should not see he was fool enough to weep, and went along the flagged path to the end of the garden, where was the little summer-house that looked over theW eald. But he could not see theW eald because his tears blinded him.
