This much loved classic, Peter Pan is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie. Widely read the world over by both children and adults, this is the wonderful story of the free spirited and naughty Peter Pan who refuses to grow up. He flies into the bedroom of three young children Wendy, John, and Michael, teaches them to fly, and takes them to the mythical island of Neverland. There begins a series of adventures featuring lost boys, pirates, Indians, wild beasts, fairies, and the dreaded Captain Hook. The book teaches the importance of friendship, courage, sacrifice, family values, and choosing right over wrong, always. The fictional Peter Pan has transformed to a cultural icon that denotes youthful innocence and escapism. Peter Pan has also become a part of popular culture with the 1924 silent film; the 1953 Disney animated film, a 2003 dramatic/live-action film, a television series, and many other works.
