The passage summarizes the story of Peter Pan, a boy who never wanted to grow up. It describes how Wendy and her brothers met Peter Pan and Tinker Bell in the fairy tale and flew away to Neverland, where they had many adventures with Peter's friends and enemies. The play was written by Sir James Barrie and first presented in 1911, becoming his most successful work financially from its popularity both in its original production and later on Broadway, where it was adapted into a musical. The legend of Peter Pan allows people to pretend they can remain young at heart by revisiting the story again and again.
