Why are the characters from Tarzan Peter Pan and Tinkerbell all from England?

Answer 1

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell are both characters in James Barrie's Peter Pan, which Barrie, a British citizen, wrote as a bedtime story for his children. Edgar Rice Burroughs was an American author, and to make a link to nobility in Tarzan's murky past, he gave him a British lineage.

Answer

Author's privilege. Edgar Rice Burrows used the premise that a family of explorers were marooned on the West African coast by mutineers. The archetypal explorers of the day were English. Tarzan's Jane, however, was an American from Baltimore, Maryland.

J.M Barrie (Peter Pan) was a Scottish playright and author who was living and working in London when he met the Llewellyn boys. He became their guardian after the untimely deaths of their parents. The boys inspired the characters of Peter Pan and rest of the Lost Boys.
