The Pan History

Peter Pan first appeared in Barrie's book, The Little White Bird, as a miraculous boy who refuses to be an adult. In 1904, Barrie's most famous work, Peter Pan (or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up), first appeared on stage. Then, the story was developed into the novel, Peter and Wendy, in 1911 by Barrie himself. Ever since, this story has been modified into many other works including musicals, films, and even a peanut butter brand.  Barrie has created wonderful characters and settings that are also included in my storybook.  To better understand my stories, let's take a brief look at them:

Settings
Kensington: A small town in London, where the Darlings' home is located.
Neverland: A magical island, and imaginary land, that is home to many of the characters in these stories.

The Darling Family

Wendy- The oldest of the Darling children; she is adventurous, and feels the need to be a mother figure.

John & Michael-
John (middle child), is brave at heart, and loves to have fun. Michael (youngest child), is full of life, and loves his teddy.
Mr. & Mrs.Darling
-
T
he children's devoted parents are named George and Mary.
Nana
- A Saint Bernard, and the children's paranoid nanny.

The Lost Boys
They include: Tootles, Nibs, Slightly, Curly, and the Twins. These young boys live in Neverland. They long for a mother figure, are wild, and have great imaginations.

Neverland Inhabitants
Tinker Bell- Peter's stubborn fairy, who can be mischievous at times. The faries are powered by childrens' beliefs in them.

Tiger Lily- The young, arrogant princess of the Piccaninny Tribe, who often gets into trouble.
Pirates- Captain James Hook is a ruthless pirate who hates Peter. He is also captain of the ship, Jolly Roger. Mr. Smee is an Irish rebel pirate, and Gentleman Starkey is Hook's first officer.
Mermaids and the Crocodile- The mermaids live in the Mermaids' Lagoon where they swim and play games all day. The Crocodile is feared by all the pirates, especially Captain Hook. He is essential to the defeat of the nasty pirate.

The Fairy Dust Air Tour

A new tour has just hit the entertainment industry, and it's unlike any other you've been on. Peter Pan decided he wanted to share his magical adventures with all who were willing to hear. He has called together all the characters to do so. Guess what? Today is your lucky day, because I've got extra tickets for the Fairy Dust Air Tour, where anyone can be a kid again! Oh no, look at the time, we better hurry because it's about to begin. We're about to have the best adventure of our lives! Here comes one of the Lost Boys now. Have fun and enjoy the ride...


Tootles: Welcome aboard the Fairy Dust Air Tour, where we've got your pirates and crocodiles, your redskins and fairies! You'll never want to be a grown-up again after we're done with you! Today we're taking you on an adventure - well, three adventures to be exact - and you're going to relive the magic of Peter's great adventures in Neverland. In order to do this, however, Peter would like me to ask you to leave your grown-up self behind. Only kids are allowed on this tour, and if you're a grown-up in Neverland, then you're a pirate, and pirates are the bad guys! Also, if anyone is allergic to fairy dust, or has a fear of heights, I'm afraid this tour is not for you. Great, I see that everyone will be able to participate. Any questions before we go on? Yes, miss, I assure you this is 100 percent safe in every way, and I promise you will not get eaten by a crocodile. Right - well, as soon as Peter is ready, and everyone receives their pinch of fairy dust, we can begin the the tour. There he is now! Aye aye, Captain Peter, everyone seems to be ready. You can take it from here.


Peter Pan: Thanks, Tootles! Welcome, mates. I am Captain Peter Pan and I will be your tour guide on this glorious adventure! We are going to meet many great friends of mine along the way, and they are going to tell you the most wonderful stories about our adventures together. The only rule I have is to be a kid and have fun! Now take your fairy dust and sprinkle it all over yourselves. Great, now the only thing you need to do is think of happy thoughts! You've got it! We're ready for take off. First stop, the Darlings' home in London...
