The Full Story
James Matthew Barrie introduced Peter Pan in his 1902 adult novel โThe Little White Birdโ. The character became famous with the play โPeter Pan, or the Boy Who Wouldnโt Grow Upโ, which premiered in London on 27 December 1904. Barrie turned the play into the 1911 novel โPeter and Wendyโ. He was inspired by the Llewelyn Davies boys, whom he befriended in Kensington Gardens and later became guardian of. In 1929 Barrie gave the copyright of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, which still benefits from it.
