Barrie's Peter Pan, Peter Pan, a flying boy who refuses to grow up, visits the Darling household and, with the help of his fairy Tinker Bell, takes Wendy and her brothers, John and Michael, to Neverland. There, they encounter adventures with Peter's group, the Lost Boys, and battle the villainous Captain Hook. Wendy cares for Peter and desires to return home. Peter saves them from Hook, but continues his eternal youth, visiting Wendy intermittently.
Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie is celebrated for its imaginative storytelling, timeless themes of adventure, and the whimsical character of Peter Pan.
