Where can you get a Peter Pan script for free?

The script of Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up(the original play) was not actually published until 1928. This means that it is still under copyright in the United States, and must be purchased in book form. In the European Union, it is in the public domain, so you can legally download it. However, special legislation in the UK gives Great Ormond Street Hospital (who were given the rights by J. M. Barrie) the right to charge royalties for it within the UK.

By the way, the novel form of the story, called Peter and Wendy, was published in 1911, and is in the public domain in most of the world.

It describes the aunts' physical features almost in a derogatory tone. The word 'ass' also appears. Then there are the mysical aspects of talking animals and a giant, flying peach. It also was challenged because one bug said that he would rather be fried than eaten by a Mexican. Dahl, however, was truthful in recording that culture's habit of eating insects.

James and the Giant Peach is a wonderful story about a young boy and his adventure to New York City in a giant peach. James lives with his 2 horrible aunts who mistreat him and make him do everything. Then he meets an old man who gives him a bagful of crocodile tongues, strange little creatures who make dreams come true. One of these things makes its way to the old peach tree in the yard, and a peach suddenly grows on it. It swells up and turns into the biggest peach in the world. James takes a bite, and a hole forms in it. He crawls inside it and meets wonderful bug friends. The peach is detached from the tree and rolls into the Atlantic Ocean. But the crew ties up a flock of seagulls to the stem of the peach, and the peach becomes airborne. Eventually, they all land in new york, and "live happily ever after."
