Synopsis
How did Tinker Bell get her name? In J. M. Barries original version of the play "Peter Pan,"the little sprites name was Tippytoe, and she had speaking lines. But over time, Barrie decided that the fairys expressions would be best voiced by musical chimes. During the early 1900s, vagabonds known as tinkers traveled from town to town, performing jack-of-all-trade repair services. Their arrival was hailed by the jingling of bells fashioned from tin that they mounted on their wagons. One of these "tinker bells" was used to give Peters fairy friend her voice in the original stage production, and the name stuck. Now, more than a hundred years later, it is difficult to believe that this popular pixie began as a circle of lamplight, reflected in a mirror controlled by a stage hand behind the curtains. She is now the center of a major Disney franchise, she flies through the skies in Orlando and Anaheim introducing the nightly fireworks displays, and she opens every Walt Disney Pictures film with a sprinkling of pixie dust. Tinker Bell: An Evolution is a full biography of the fiery little fairy. Designed in collaboration with the Animation Research library, it contains artwork that has never been seen before. The book is heavily illustrated, highly detailed, and will make the perfect gift for every grown-up who believes in fairies., How did Tinker Bell get her name? In J. M.

  • Showing the development of a fairy for over a century

    Well-written and lavishly illustrated, this history of Tinker Bell goes all the way back to the childhood of J.M. Barrie, and it explains how his exposure to, and his love of, the verbal fairy tale tradition in Scotland inspired him to include a fairy character in his writings. We learn of his family, and of Scots hospitality, and of the roving bands of Tinkers who repaired pots and mended shoes wherever they travelled; and it tells of the adults who told fairy stories until well after midnight. In this book we find mention of Barrie's early writing career in Nottingham, and of his successful transition to London, where he met the young Llewelyn-Davies boys (George, Jack, Peter, and later Michael) while he was walking his St. Bernard in Kensington Gardens.
