- This book is printed in a 16 pt. large font for easier reading. The character Peter Pan first appeared in J. M. Barrie's novel The Little White Bird in 1902, and later in the play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, in 1904. Barrie finally dedicated the writing of a book to Peter Pan and his adventures with Wendy in 1911 titled Peter and Wendy. In pursuit of his lost shadow, a young boy named Peter Pan dashes into the bedroom of three children named Wendy, Michael, and John. After much blundering about, Wendy manages to reattach Peter's frenetic shadow, and in return, Peter propositions the three siblings to accompany him back to his home in a place he calls Neverland.
