具体描述
Peter Pan, produced for the stage in 1904 but appeared as a narrative story in 1911, is a fantasy work by Scottish playwright and novelist James Matthew Barrie (1860–1937).
Barrie is best remembered for inventing the character of Peter Pan, a mischievous little boy, who lives in Neverland, better known as Never-Never Land, a country where no child ever grows up.
The most apparent theme in the story concerns growing up (or not), with the character of Peter wanting to remain a child forever and refusing to grow up. "Peter Pan syndrome" has become a psychiatric term named to describe an adult who is afraid of commitment or refuses to act his/her age. It is also sometimes used to positively describe an innocent approach to life.
Peter Pan has been adapted for stage and screen many times. Besides, there have been several additions to Peter Pan’s story created, both authorized and not.
