Abstract:Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories on carnival are the framework of an analysis of two Peter Pan texts by J.M Barrie, the 1904 play Peter Pan and its first novelisation in 1911, Peter and Wendy. This paper highlights carnivalesque elements in the two texts, with emphasis on the deployment of textual play and on the intricate treatment of the subject of game-playing for adults and children alike.
Key words:carnival, Peter Pan, games, narrative play, textual play
