Peter Pan 1-45

Peter Pan comes to take Wendy and the other Darling children to Neverland. This is a fairy island that exist in children's head's, somewhat outside of space and time. An assortment of magical creatures and romantic figures live on the island, such as pirates and fairies. Peter Pan is the ruler, or at least central figure, of the realm. Adventures, conflicts and extraordinary events are constantly occuring here, most of these have the feel of childs play, but can still be fatal. Things which would usually be neccesities, such as working and eating, are only lightly adhered to. They may eat an actual dinner, or they may only pretend to, as the idea is mostly what counts here.

Captain Hook is the main antagonist on the island. He commands the pirates, most of whom are not specificially from neverland, but have come to harrass and raid the island. Hook doesn't associate with his crew and considers himself to be on a different class from them. He views most of his henchment as unintelligent and classless, this seems to isolate and frustrate him. Occasionally he impales them on his hook when they are exceptionally stupid.

The only thing Hook fears is the Crocodile, who is always slowly following on his tail; when it comes to near he is reduced to an almost pitiable and pathetic state by his fear of it. He is usually able to escape however because of the watch which the crocodile has in its stomach, the ticking and tocking warns him off. Peter Pan was the one who originally gave the crocodile a taste for him, he cut off Hooks arm and threw it to the beast. Hook hates Peter for this, as well as for his "cockyness".

Even before they go there, Neverland exist in some form in all of the childrens heads, a landscape of their dreams and daydreams. The geographies and inhabitants of the neverlands are different according to the child, for example in Wendies neverland home is a house sown of leaves, whereas John's is an overturned boat on the shore, and Michael's a wig wam; also because Michael is very young, in his neverland the ground is up and the sky is down. However all the neverlands are essentially the same place, and they are all connected. However when the children actually go to neverland with Peter, finding it as a place in the "real" world, it is somewhat different. When the children had visited their own individual neverlands it had always been daytime; and while they had adventures, they were never in any real danger. In the neverland Peter has taken them too, there is both night and day, not only benevolent animals and magical creatures, but also malicious wolves and pirates.
