Neverland is a magical, make-believe island. It is the main setting for the famous story Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. On Neverland, no one ever grows up. This is why Peter Pan stays a child forever.

Who Lives on Neverland?

Many different characters live on Neverland. Peter Pan, the adventurous boy who can fly, lives there. He is joined by his group of friends called the "Lost Boys." These boys are always ready for fun and adventure.

Tinker Bell, a tiny fairy, is also a resident of Neverland. She is Peter Pan's loyal companion. However, not everyone on the island is friendly. A gang of pirates, led by the sneaky Captain Hook, also lives there. There is also a group of Native Americans, who are sometimes called "islanders" in the story.

How Do You Get to Neverland?

Getting to Neverland is not easy! Peter Pan says you have to fly "second to the right, and straight on till morning." This shows that Neverland is a place of imagination and dreams. It is a world where anything can happen.
