The Peter Pan Mythos; Never Growing Up Means Never Standing Still

            This isn't quite Kpop, or even music related, but I personally find Peter Pan terribly interesting and thought I would share. We recently had to write academic articles for publication in one of my college classes (Transmedia Fiction, if you're curious) and one of my articles was on the topic of how Peter Pan's legend has evolved over the years, and how certain parts of his legend have been entirely forgotten:

            Flying effortlessly onto TIME 100’s List of The 100 Most Influential People Who Never Lived, Peter Pan has carved out a slice of History. Generally speaking, the average college student of 2013 is probably most familiar with the Disney’s 1953 animated film Peter Pan, but that is certainly not the original appearance of the Peter Pan character.
            Peter Pan’s very first appearance was a side note in J.M Barrie’s 1902 novel The Little White Bird,which was conceived as a partly whimsical fantasy story and partly comedic social commentary, both with extraordinarily dark undertones. Peter Pan’s story started out as a just a few short chapters (Chapter XIV – XVIII) in the Little White Bird, a section which was later adapted into its own novel (Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, 1906). The Peter Pan story was transmedia from its very beginning as the very first authorized adaption of the story was Barrie’s 1904 play, Peter and Wendy (which was adapted to take the story back into novel format in 1911, Peter and Wendy).
