	Neverland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While sojourning in Neverland, children may cease to age; therefore, Neverland is often seen as a metaphor for eternal childhood (and childishness), immortality, and escapism.
		Peter led Wendy and her brothers to Neverland by flying "second to the right, and straight on 'till morning" (usually taken to mean "second star to the right"), though it is stated in the novel that Peter made up these directions on the spot, for a voyage he made intuitively.
		Important denizens of Neverland are Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, a band of Indians, mermaids, Captain Hook and his crew of pirates, and the crocodile who had eaten Hook's hand and wanted the rest of him.
