1. INTRODUCTION:

We are going to talk about a comparison between two very important books in children´s literature. These books are: Peter Pan and Robin Hood.
Firstly, before to begin with the development of this work, it´s necessary to show the importance ofliterature in teaching. Literature helps us to develop different points in the learning process.
• Extension of the lexicon.
• Incentive the creativity and the imagination.
• Help to the transmission of social and cultural values.

He is also well known for his illustrations ofpirates, and is credited with creating the now stereotypical modern image of pirate dress.
He published an original novel, Otto of the Silver Hand, in 1888. He also illustrated historical and adventure stories for periodicals such as Harper's Weekly and St. Nicholas Magazine. His novel Men of Iron was made into a movie in 1954, The Black Shield of Falworth.
