An author has been chosen in a search to find the right person to write a sequel to PETER PAN, originally written by J.M. Barrie.

A sequel? What does everyone thinK?

some things should not have sequels

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story... AGATHA CHRISTIE, Life magazine, May 14, 1956

aren't there actually a series of Peter Pan books by the original author?

Ahem - *clears throat*:

J.M. Barrie's play, PETER PAN, OR THE BOY WHO WOULDN'T GROW UP was first performec on December 27, 1904. It's now celebrating its 100th Anniversary.

Barrie adapted his play into a novel in 1911, essentially the same plot.

The first mentioning of the character "Peter Pan" was a chapted in Barrie's 1902 novel THE LITTLE WHITE BIRD. Later in 1906, this chapter was published as its own little novel (nothing changed): PETER PAN IN KENSINGTON GARDENS. This is considered by some as a "prequel" to PETER PAN. In it, Peter is an infant living in Kensington Gardens in London. He has yet to venture to Neverland and stop growing up.

So no, there wasn't a SERIES. The novel was entitled PETER & WENDY.

A sequel to PETER PAN? You mean Stephen Spielberg's HOOK?

HOOK is not a sequel. It's an original film with a script based on the idea "What if Peter Pan grew up?"

NOT a sequel.

Disney has a "sequel" to their Peter Pan film, RETURN TO NEVERLAND, but Disney doesn't own Peter Pan. The Great Ormond Street Hospital does.

There will never be an "official" sequel since Barrie is gone (Barrie did write one, sort of, however unpublished). Although this new novel is as close as we will get.

The copyrights were already extended. Parliment already made a claim decades ago that the copyrights would *never* expire in the UK, but its not being inforced. They know it wouldn't be fair.

Fan fiction is fan fiction.

Writers should spend more time developing their own ideas, instead of madly trying to latch onto other writers' original ideas.
