Neverland is a fictional island featured in the works of J. M. Barrie
and those based on them. It is an imaginary faraway place where Peter
Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, the Lost Boys, and some other mythical
beings and creatures live.Although not all people who come to
Neverland cease to age, its best-known resident famously refused to
grow up. Thus, the term is often used as a metaphor for eternal
childhood (and childishness), as well as immortality and escapism.The
concept was first introduced as "the Never Never Land" in Barrie's
theatre play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, first staged
in 1904. In the earliest drafts of the play, the island was called
"Peter's Never Never Never Land,", a name possibly influenced by the
'Never Never', a contemporary term for outback Australia. In the 1928
published version of the play's script, the name was shortened to "the
Never Land". Although the caption to one of F. D. Bedford's
illustrations also calls it "The Never Never Land," Barrie's 1911
novelisation Peter and Wendy simply refers to it as "the Neverland,"
and its many variations "the Neverlands."Neverland has been featured
prominently in subsequent works that either adapted Barrie's works or
expanded upon them. These Neverlands sometimes vary in nature from the
original.
