It was instantaneous, brilliant fun-almost as if she wanted a word in too! I’ll be honest about Nana though: those interludes and scenes just jumped onto the page fully formed from my head. Even Nana, the Darling family dog, has more dimension in your story and even has her own interlude! Tell us about the process for developing your characters in your story and what choices you had to make about and for them along the way.Īgain it’s that tightrope between keeping them true to the classic tale while exploring characters’ inner depths. You depict Wendy and Tink as strong, brave women – and I would like to think they have always been – though you give them greater depth and a louder voice than they otherwise have in Peter Pan. It’s actually Wendy! And she deserved to tell it in her own way. Of course! But if you ask a deeper version of the question: what character changes by the end of the movie, and whose point of view the movie is from, they often grow confused.
It’s funny: if you ask a group of children who the main character of the movie is (and I have), they’ll all say Peter Pan. Tell us about what inspired you to write this book from Wendy’s perspective? Speaking of Wendy, we never really knew Wendy Darling until we read Straight On Till Morning.
