Peter Pan is the story of a mischievous boy who can fly and never grows up; he spends his never-ending childhood adventuring on the small island of Neverland as the leader of his gang, the Lost Boys, but visits the Darling home in London hoping to entice the daughter Wendy to become a mother to his boys..
