	Peter Pan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Peter Pan first appeared in print in a 1902 book called The Little White Bird, a fictionalised version of Barrie's relationship with the Llewelyn Davies children, and was then used in a very successful stage play, Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, which premiered in London on December 27, 1904.
		Peter Pan is considered an enemy of the repressive government and is pursued by the League whose members include Lord Admiral Hook (Captain Hook), Sherlock Holmes, and Lord Greystoke (Tarzan).
		Peter Pan and Tinker Bell are also used in the 2006 video game "Kingdom Hearts II", where they help Sora as a magical summon that you receive towards the end of the game.

	Peter Pan syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Peter Pan Syndrome has been accepted in popular psychology (i.e., is used by both laypeople and informally by some psychology professionals) since the publication of a book in 1983 entitled The Peter Pan Syndrome: Men Who Have Never Grown Up, written by Dr. Dan Kiley.
		According to Kiley, "Peter Pan" is the adult little boy who, when in a relationship or in seeking a relationship, acts out a need for mothering.
		Although the term Peter Pan Syndrome has been widely used to describe a negative phenomenon, there has been a trend among some websites, especially blogs, to use it as a description for an iconoclastic, youthful-minded state of being.

	Peter Pan, An Awfully Big Adventure, Finding Neverland
		This Peter Pan is far less the titular character's story than hers, though one might make the same case for any of the versions of the story that end with the grown-up Wendy relinquishing her own daughter to the fantasy for a time.
		Though Peter Llewellyn Davies identifies the playwright himself as the source material for Peter Pan, ostensibly named after the real life Peter, James takes on the role of the pirate captain when the boys play pirates and the maternal storyteller when their mother is too ill to participate.
		If Peter has grown up enough by her funeral to understand that Sylvia was pretending for herself as much as for her family, he has only taken an additional step away from the land of make-believe and eternal youth.

	Peter Pan Turns 100 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Peter Pan may remain forever young, but he has evolved over the course of a turbulent century, journeying far from the dark imaginings of author James Matthew Barrie.
		As Peter evolved in Barrie’s mind, he became the central character of a new drama, that of a boy who lives out his adventures in Never Land, where childish imaginings are made real in the person of pirates, Indians and mermaids—and no one grows old.
		Peter, faced with the prospect of drowning in Mermaid’s Lagoon, declares: “To die will be an awfully big adventure.” Sandy Duncan, who starred in a 1979 revival of the musical, said that the death-as-adventure line was briefly reinstated during a pre-Broadway tour.

		Peter and the Starcatchers was born during a pre-bedtime storybook session between Ridley Pearson and his daughter, Paige.
		There have been several sequels to Peter Pan, but Starcatchers may be the first prequel to the enduring tale of a boy who won't grow up.
		Starcatchers opens as Peter and other wards of a Dickensian home for "wayward boys" are shipped off to be servants of a cruel island king who, word has it, feeds his underachieving staff to a pet snake that once ate the king's father.

		But Peter Pan was a less charming child to readers who loved Wendy Darling, the girl whose heart he won and cast aside.
		Although Fox says The Lost Girls is not a sequel to J M Barrie’s classic tale, it continues the story of Wendy Darling, the young girl into whose nursery Peter Pan fell and whom he whisked off to Neverland where she became the mother figure to the Lost Boys.
		Wendy McDonald of the National Trust for Scotland, which runs the Barrie’s Birthplace museum in the cottage where the author was born, said that she was happy to hear that Peter Pan was inspiring writers a century after he first whisked Wendy off to Neverland in 1904.

		IT’S a centenary since Peter Pan appeared and, like JM Barrie’s classic tale of the boy who refused to grow up, which remains a vital and popular Christmas panto, the story of its creation has flown around the world.
		It was Gerald too who created the dual roles of the ferocious Captain Hook and the sympathetic Mr Darling in Peter Pan’s opening run, who was launched on December 27, 1904, at the Duke of York’s Theatre.
		He thought Peter Pan was likely to be a flop and, initially, it seemed to go that way.

	Wordwizard Clubhouse - Peter Pan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Russell, Barrie named PETER PAN after his nephew, for whom he wrote the story, giving the character the last name PAN, the ancient Greek god of forests, pastures, flocks, and shepherds, represented with the head, chest, and arms of a man and the legs and sometimes the horns and ears of a goat.
		We now use the name PETER PAN to describe 1) an adult who, in a positive sense, retains the naturalness of spirit, spontaneity, and charm associated with youth, or 2) one who refuses to escape from the comfortable irresponsibility of childhood; an immature or emotionally (occassionally physically) undeveloped man.
		Peter Pan is in reference to J. Barrie's classic 1904 play in which a boy who refuses to grow up teaches Wendy and her younger brothers how to fly and then it's off to magical Neverneverland for adventures with mermaids, Indians, and wicked Captain Hook and his pirate crew.

	The Story of Peter and Cindy, or How not to Have a Happy Ending
		The name "Peter Pan", normally used for a little boy who can fly and lives in Neverneverland where he will never never have to grow up is, in fact, a gentle metaphor for a "Son of a bitch", a name commonly used by his victims.
		Peter won't help, won't take part in the giving, or the solving, or the doing, but only in the taking, and the asking, and the criticising.
		Rollett: Sometimes the mother is experiencing the "empty nest" syndrome; she is afraid to find herself alone with her partner again, or she has no partner, and is therefore clinging to her son and holding him back.

		With Peter, Wendy can only be a mother, but Hook offers her the more exciting role of piracy as “Red-Handed Jill.” Yet Wendy is able to sense that both Pan and Hook are playing at love, something neither is really capable of.

		Here, in Part II, Father O'Malley focuses on what is happening instead, what he describes as the Peter Pan Syndrome -- the "commitment to non-commitment." Part III probes the heart of the problem, our "mangled notion of what freedom really means." Finally, in Part IV, Father O'Malley offers suggestions for the future.
