Una notte tranquilla nella stanza dei bambini prende all’improvviso una piega straordinaria per Wendy Darling e i suoi fratellini. Il bimbo sperduto volante Peter Pan e la sua amica fatina Trilli li portano via verso grandi avventure sull’Isola che non c’è. Ancora in abiti da notte si troveranno a incontrare sirene e fatine, ma anche una banda di pirati guidata dal perfido Capitan Uncino, che cerca disperatamente di vendicarsi su Peter Pan. Il classico del 1911 di J.M. Barrie immortala lo spirito eterno dell’infanzia nella figura del famoso bambino che si rifiuta di crescere. "Peter Pan, o il ragazzo che non voleva crescere" racconta la straordinaria storia di Peter, Wendy, Trilli e i Bimbi sperduti resa poi immortale dal film animato Disney del 1953.J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) è stato uno scrittore e drammaturgo scozzese. È noto soprattutto per aver creato il tanto amato personaggio di Peter Pan, reso celebre dal film animato della Disney del 1953.

Le preguntó dónde vivía, y él miró a las estrellas, señalando un lejano punto en el azul oscuro de la noche. Risueño, vestido en hojas y savia, Peter sonrió y no tardó en convencer a Wendy y sus hermanos a que lo acompañaran a la tierra de Nunca Jamás. "Dos estrellas a la derecha y derecho hasta el amanecer", el lugar donde los niños perdidos son llevados para jugar y reír sin crecer. Wendy jamás imaginaría las aventuras que le esperaban allí, tan lejos de casa.La historia de Peter Pan nos lleva a un mundo donde el tiempo no avanza, de hadas simpáticas, indios que conviven con sirenas y cocodrilos que hacen tic tac. Sin embargo, no todo es risas y danzas. Piratas merodean las aguas de esta distante tierra, y los niños deberán utilizar toda la ayuda que puedan obtener para derrotarlos.Originalmente una obra de teatro, y luego reescrita como una novela, Peter Pan es el clásico cuento del que se inspiraron varias películas. Desde el reconocido animado de Walt Disney del mismo nombre, hasta la versión actuada "Hook, El Capitán Garfio", protagonizada por Robin Williams, Peter Pan es, y será por siempre uno de los nombres más reconocidos en el mundo de los cuentos de hadas.Dramaturgo y novelista, Sir James Matthew Barrie se mudó de Escocia a Londres para perseguir una carrera en literatura. Aquí conoció a la familia que le daría la inspiración para crear las aventuras de Peter Pan. Para entretener a los niños de la familia, contaba que los bebes eran aves antes de nacer, y que las cunas tenían barras para evitar que escaparan volando. Así fue como ideó al niño que se escabulló y voló a la tierra de Nunca Jamás. Barrie escribió muchos cuentos más, pero ninguno alcanzó la fama de Peter Pan. Al morir, dejó la fortuna del cuento para el más grande hospital de niños en Londres, el cual sigue beneficiando del nombre del niño que nunca creció.
