The spellbinding story of Peter Pan has fired the imagination of adults and children ever since its first appearance on stage in 1904. One magical night Peter Pan flies in to the nursery of Wendy, John and Michael and transports them to the world of the Neverland. Here they meet the Lost Boys, the impudent fairy Tinker Bell, Tiger Lily, beautiful chief of the Redskins, and the fearsome and merciless Captain Hook. It is a life of adventure, but also of danger, and sometimes the comforts of home seem a long way away.
