Slightly is not optimistic about his future.
When Peter Pan stumbles into his life, escaping to Neverland seems like the perfect solution to his troubles. In Neverland, there will be no looming adulthood, no societal pressures, and no mothers refusing to see him for the boy he is.
But Neverland holds obstacles all its own, and when life on the island turns tumultuous, Slightly begins to wonder if being there is truly the right path. He never dreamt that such adult struggles could reach him in his new oasis, but he cannot leave it now. Growing up is simply not an option, and neither is leaving Peter.
In this reimagining of the beloved classic, take a peek into Neverland life through the eyes of Peter's most trusted Lost Boy. Always present but never heard, Slightly has quite a lot to show us and his story is ready to be told.
J. M. Barrie
J. M. Barrie was born in 1860. Fascinated by stories of his mother's life, he was determined to write and worked on the Nottingham Journal after graduating from Edinburgh University. In 1885 he successfully sold the Auld Licht Idylls, which were based on his mother's tales. By the time Peter Pan opened on the London stage in 1904, Barrie had written more than thirty novels and plays, such as Quality Street and The Admirable Crichton. He was created a baronet in 1913, awarded the Order of Merit in 1922 and died in 1937.
