Children have the strangest adventures without being troubled by them. One night when Peter Pan, the mischievous little boy who can fly, is caught listening to Mrs. Mary Darlings bedtime stories, he loses his shadow while escaping. As he comes back for it, he wakes up Wendy Darling, who attaches it back to him. Peter requests Wendy to accompany him to the island of Neverland, where he lives with Tinker Bill, Lost Boys, and other fairies and mermaids. As Wendy and her brothers follow Peter Pan to the island, their flight is full of adventures. But the fun has only just begun. Come! Fly with them to Neverland and join them in the adventures they are yet to encounter.

Born in Kirriemuir, Scotland, on May 9, 1860, Sir James Matthew Barrie was a chief member of the Kailyard School of novelist in Scotland. He published his first work of fiction, Better Dead, in 1887. This was followed by When a Mans Single (1888) and My Lady Nicotine (1890). Excessively sentimental, these novels failed to sell. The Little Minister, his next sentimental novel, became immensely popular on its publication in 1891. It was dramatized in 1897. Sentimental Tommy (1896) and Tommy and Grizel (1900), his two Tommy novels, were a study of sentimentalism. With the beginning of the twentieth century, Barrie concentrated on theatre. The Little White Bird, a fantasy fairy tale, was first published in 1902. It introduced the character of Peter Pan, a naughty young boy who can fly and never grows up. Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldnt Grow Up was first staged in 1904. It was published in novel form with the title Peter and Wendy in October 1911 by Hodder & Stoughton in U.K. and Charles Scribners Sons in U.S.A. It is Barries most famous work, and continues to remain widely popular. Barries other notable and successful works include Half an Hour (1913), A Kiss for Cinderella (1916), The Will (1917), Dear Brutus (1917), Mary Rose (1920), and The Twelve Pound Look (1921). The Boy David (1936) was his final play. He died of pneumonia on June 19, 1937.
