Something is wrong in Neverland, gentlemen,” Wendy said. “And that is why we must go back.”
J. M.Barrie gave the rights to his classic children’s book Peter Pan to the Great Ormond Street Children’s hospital during the 1920’s.
Recently they launched a competition to find an author to write a sequel to the original and this was won by author Geraldine McCaughrean.
Next week Peter Pan In Scarlet is due to be published, and Wendy must take her charges back to the land where pirates and mischievous fairies reign, and sort it all out.
The sequel is set in 1926, and Michael, one of the Darling children in the original, has died in World War I. The others are grown up and troublesome dreams are leaking out of Neverland. Wendy returns to find Tinker Bell and be updated on the situation. She leaves behind John and the twins who as yet do not understand why there dreams are haunted .
