When Scottish author James Matthew Barrie wrote Peter Pan, he was already a renowned playwright, but he could not have foreseen that his new work would become a literary classic. His adult life was deeply marked by his idealization of the world of childhood, which led him to create the unforgettable characters of Peter Pan, Wendy, Tinker Bell, and Captain Hook. All of them remind us of the child we once were and the adult we sometimes don't want to be. Ultimately, our lives are an eternal return to Neverland.
