[edit] Continuity

I haven't read the book so I can't comment, but I find it interesting that (according to this article) Tinker Bell is still alive, because she died in the original book. -- Annie D 15:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

(Spoiler warning.) Tink shows up by a magical device late within the story, though she doesn't play any large role or have much dialogue, and she soon takes an exit with her new fairy beau, Fireflyer. See Chapters 17, 19 and 20 for details.

But here's an apparent continuity error: (Spoiler Warning still in effect!) Ravello, when ultimately revealing his identity, declares that Peter and the children are unable to fly without their shadows – flight being necessary for a quick escape from Neverpeak, as well as to leave Neverland – which Ravello had deviously removed earlier using a knife, and so Peter must wait for his shadow to eventually "grow back" as described in the epilogue at the end of the book. ...Yet in the original story, doesn't Peter manage to fly (sans shadow) from the nursery window and (presumably) flies back with Tink when later returning to Wendy's house to retrieve his lost shadow? ...Dunno from where the author assumed this revisionist rule of "no shadow, no flight." (/End spoilers.) 172.129.6.126 09:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

This article describes the work as "authorized" in the sense that it is so by the current "owner" of the plot and character(s). Given the dispute to ownership detailed on the Peter Pan page, perhaps this might best be re-worded. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

There's no real dispute that Barrie gave control of the characters, etc. to GOSH. At the time Scarlet was published GOSH unquestionably had legal ownership of Peter Pan in Europe, and the fact that this has since lapsed doesn't change the first point: JMB made GOSH his proxy in terms of saying what use is "authorized" and what isn't... they just don't have the ability to say what use is legal or not. - JasonAQuest (talk) 14:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fairy Marriage?

It states in the article that Fireflyer and Tinker Bell marry by the end of the book. Although they stay together, it does not mention marriage in my edition. However, it is so definitely stated that I wondered if there is an alternative version? Robina Fox (talk) 11:09, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Some editors get a little carried away in the imaginary aspect of reading fantasy fiction and insert their own interpretations, so I wouldn't assume this reflects a different edition of the book. - JasonAQuest (talk) 14:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
