63 Greatest Peter Pan Quotes On Bravery, Growing Up

Peter Pan is a fictional character created by Scottish author J. M. Barrie in 1904. He appears in two works by Barrie, namely the original novel The Little White Bird and the play Peter Pan or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up.

Barrie’s works tell the story of a young boy who can fly and never grows up, who lives in Neverland with fairies, mermaids, pirates, and other children. In addition to two distinct works that include him as a character, he appears in other works by Barrie and adaptations of his work—especially in films and television shows.
