notes

In the night nursery of the Darling children, Wendy, John and Michael meet the magical Peter Pan, who teaches them to fly and takes them on adventures in Never-Never Land, where they meet the iconic pirate, Captain Hook. When author J.M. Barrie was six, his older brother died in a skating accident, which had a profound effect on his mother, who took solace in the fact that he would stay a boy and never grow up, believed to be the inspiration for Barrie writing ‘Peter Pan’.
