Peter Pan is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and
playwright J. M. Barrie. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who
can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending
childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the
leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids,
Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world
outside Neverland.Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing
youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by
Barrie, The Little White Bird (1902, with chapters 13â€"18 published
in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens in 1906), and the West End stage
play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (1904, which expanded
into the 1911 novel Peter and Wendy), the character has been featured
in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on
Barrie's works. These include the 1924 silent film, 1953 Disney
animated film, a 2003 dramatic/live-action film, a television series
and many other works.Peter Pan first appeared as a character in
Barrie's The Little White Bird (1902), an adult novel. In chapters
13â€"18, titled "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens", Peter is a
seven-day-old baby and has flown from his nursery to Kensington
Gardens in London, where the fairies and birds taught him to fly. He
is described as "betwixt-and-between" a boy and a bird. Following the
success of the 1904 play, Barrie's publishers, Hodder and Stoughton,
extracted these chapters of The Little White Bird and published them
in 1906 under the title Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, with the
addition of illustrations by Arthur Rackham. Peter Pan Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
