Peter Pan, or, The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up is a novel by J.M. Barrie. This beloved book tells the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous and adventurous boy who can fly and never ages. Peter lives in the magical world of Neverland and is the leader of the Lost Boys. The play opens in the Darling family’s nursery in London, where Peter Pan visits and captivates Wendy, John, and Michael Darling with tales of Neverland. He teaches them to fly using fairy dust provided by Tinker Bell, a fairy who is jealous of Wendy’s relationship with Peter. In Neverland, the children encounter a host of fantastical characters, including mermaids, Native Americans, and pirates. The most notorious of these pirates is the villainous Captain Hook, who seeks revenge against Peter Pan for cutting off his hand and feeding it to a crocodile. This crocodile, having developed a taste for Hook, follows him constantly, hoping for more.
