The play by Sir J.M. Barrie is about a mischievous, innocent
little boy who can fly yet he refuses to grow up. He has many adventures in the
enchanted island which he calls home, the Neverland inhabited with mermaids,
pirates, the Native Americans and fairies. His name is Peter Pan and he has
many stories to tell involving the characters Wendy Darling; her two younger
brothers, John and Michael; his fairy Tinkerbell; The Lost Boys who seek for a
mother and the scheming Captain Hook who is intent on defeating Peter Pan.
J.M. BARRIE
Sir James Matthew Barrie is a Scottish novelist and
playwright, who is famous for being the author of Peter Pan; or The Boy Who
Never Grew Up similar to his other title, Peter and Wendy. He came up with a
character who would go on to delight audiences for more than a century.
Moreover, audiences were drawn into the fantastical tale of the flying boy who
never grew up and his adventures in Neverland with the Darling children.
However, there were a few differences that are hard to recognise. Instead of
living in Neverland, Peter had flown to London’s Kensington Hardens, where he
spent time with fairies and birds.
