Peter Pan - J. M. Barrie

James Matthew Barrie's classic story of the boy who didn't want to grow up was later republished as a novel. The cast of characters includes three children, Wendy, Michael and John, who accompany Peter to a Neverland teeming with colorful characters such as Princess Tiger Lily, Captain Hook, Tinkerbell and the Lost Boys. Barrie created Peter Pan in stories he told to the sons of his friend Sylvia Llewelyn Davies. In the classic story, a girl named Wendy is invited to Neverland to be a mother for Peter's gang of Lost Boys. The story has been adapted as a pageant, a Broadway musical, a ballet, and eight movies, including a full-length animated Disney feature and several live-action films such as Hook and the recently released Universal blockbuster.

1902: Peter Pan was first introduced in the book The Little White Bird, which was based on Barrie's relationship with the Llewelyn Davies children.
