**'All children, except one, grow up.'
**
It was Friday night. Mr and Mrs Darling were dining out. Nana had been
tied up in the backyard. The poor dog was barking, for she could smell
danger. And she was right - this was the night that Peter Pan would take
the Darling children on the most breath-taking adventure of their lives,
to a place called Neverland, a strange country where the lost boys live
and never grow up, a land with mermaids, fairies and pirates - and of
course the terrible, evil, Captain Hook. Peter Pan is undoubtedly one of
the most famous and best-loved stories for children, an unforgettable,
magical fantasy which has been enjoyed by generations.
