Written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, the book provides a backstory for the character Peter Pan, and serves as a prequel to J. M. Barrie's novel Peter and Wendy. It was illustrated by artist Greg Call.
The book is followed by two sequels, also set before the famous adventure with Peter and Wendy: Peter and the Shadow Thieves (2006) and Peter and the Secret of Rundoon (2007). A series of five Never Land chapter books has begun, the first two of which are Escape from the Carnivale and Cave of the Dark Wind. In May 2008 the writers announced a fourth book: Peter and the Sword of Mercy.[1][2]
In 2005, Disney hired Jay Wolpert to adapt the book to film, reportedly to use 3D animation.[3] A stage play version of the book is currently in the works for a winter 2009 debut at La Jolla Playhouse, as part of an arrangement with Disney Theatrical.[4]
