Who is acorn peter

After Hook destroys it, however, the heroes realize it is an actual kiss that's needed. Wendy kisses Peter, and this breaks the spell cast over him. Meanwhile, Captain Hook's use of the Doom Stone petrifies him, as well, though Wendy is able to free him with a kiss just the same. Wiki Content. Explore Wikis Community Central.

I know it is a long shot, but I figured I would at least ask! Thanks for the information! Thanks for commenting.

I had better luck finding images this time around enough so that I'll be replacing the one in the blog post. I'm on a new laptop and not yet sure exactly how everything works. And I'd love to see a pic of the tattoo. But apparently in olde days people did wear real acorns as amulets or so I have seen on google and likely the edwardian buttons were a knock off of those? Wednesday, August 14, Not an acorn, but a button. This may well be the most controversial thing I ever write.

But a purist can't let public opinion stop her from conveying the truth, can she? Peter Pan did not give Wendy an acorn, despite the scads of interpretations that depict exactly that.

According to Mr. Barrie, he gave her an acorn button , which was enough of a distinction to start me wondering. An acorn button began to seem like something so commonplace in the Edwardian era as to need no explanation, but which most of us have no knowledge of now.

And a button seemed so much reasonable to me. It's this button which Wendy puts on a chain around her neck, which saves her life when the lost boys shoot her down from the sky with an arrow on Tinker Bell's orders. How, I wondered, would Wendy go about putting Peter's acorn on a chain around her neck? Did she pull a tiny drill out of her sewing kit and put a hole through the cap before the sound could wake her parents? The link will take you to directions to make an acorn necklace, but it requires glue and time to dry.

Still not something that can be done in minutes. The confusion is understandable, and not just because of cultural changes. Peter is from the wilderness, Wendy from domestic life in the city--an exchange of acorn and thimble has thematic resonance. And he would have more access to acorns than buttons, although I'm sure he would have no problem finding the latter on the London streets.
