Did You Know?
The phrase never-never land is linked to Peter Pan,
although it did not originate with that creation of the Scottish
playwright Sir James Matthew Barrie. In Barrie's original 1904 play,
Peter befriends the real-world children of the Darling family and
spirits them off for a visit to Never Land, where children can fly and
never have to become adults. Then, in his 1908 sequel When Wendy Grew Up,
Barrie changed the name to Never Never Land, and subsequent versions of
the earlier play incorporated that change. People had been using never-never land for a place that was overly idealistic or romantic since at least 1900, but the influence of Peter Pan on the word's popularity and staying power cannot be discounted.
