In the century since its debut in London, Peter Pan has come to be regarded as the most classic piece of children's literature of all time. It is the story of the three Darling children's encounter with an ageless boy who teaches them to fly and takes them to the magical island of Neverland inhabited by fairies, lost boys, Red Indians, mermaids, a hungry crocodile and a band of pirates led by the villainous Captain Hook. It is an endearing story of wonder, magic and all the enchantments of childhood that manifest themselves in the world of a boy who refuses to grow up.
