In the book and stage play by James Matthew Barrie; About a Boy - a 4 or 5 years old, who ran away from home when he was just a baby, because his parents planned his future but he never wanted to grow up but always to be a little boy and have fun - at least according to his own words. He always does remain a little boy because, he lived those few years amongstt fairies in Kensington Gardens until they took him to Neverland, which is an island somewhere hidden on this earth, where all chidlren go, when they're dreaming but he got there while awake. In Neverland no one ages a day, so Peter Pan remains a 4 to 5 year old child. The story is about his adventures in Neverland, with a girl Wendy Darling, her 2 little brothers, other lost boys, his fairy Tinkerbell, and the villain - pirate captain James Hook, who is obsessed with trying to murder Peter. The basic theme of the story is every boy's (especially Peter's) mother issues, to which the girl Wendy Darling addresses.
In a nutshell; Peter Pan is a dark but very childlike story about a mother's love or lack of it and about lost children and eternal childhood. Originally there is no two-way romance between Peter Pan and Wendy but only Wendy feels romantically towards Peter, who only sees and wants her as a mother-figure.
