'''Peter Pan''' is a character created by the [[Scotland|Scottish]] author [[J.M. Barrie]]. He appears most famously in the book ''Peter Pan and Wendy'' and the play ''Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up'', but also in other works by Barrie. In the last hundred years, Peter Pan has become well-known in [[Britain]] and, aided by an appearance in a [[Disney]] film, the world at large; in Britain, he is honored with a statue in Kensington Gardens in [[London]]. The story of Peter Pan is a popular [[pantomime]]; famously, the rights to the play are owned by Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, and annual performances provide a vital source of revenue for that institution.

==Character==
In the stories, Peter Pan was an orphan who was taken by [[fairy|fairies]] to Never Never Land. He has the ability to fly, and never grows up. He leads the Lost Boys, a group of other similar orphans, and together they have adventures including pitting themselves against the villainous [[pirate]] Captain Hook.
