The book is known as Peter Pan, Peter, and Wendy, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. This novel is the most famous work of the Scottish writer James Matthew Barrie. The story went out for the first time as a play in 1904. And in 1911, it was published as a novel. It tells the story of a boy named Peter Pan, who can fly, and all his adventures in the Land of Neverland. Wendy Darling and his friends go with Peter on his experiences.

The Neverland is a fictional island where the children never grow up. This place is also where the protagonist lives. There are also elves, pirates, Indians, mermaids, and of course, children. In Neverland, you must believe in something to make it happen.

In the United Kingdom, the performances of the work are rarely done in their original version. But pantomimes are often organized during the Christmas period. In the United States, Broadway made a musical version adapted to the original version of the book in 1954, and it became viral on television shortly after that.
