"Peterbane" or "the boy who never grows up" first bought in 1904 and Barry wrote it in memory of his brother who died in a skiing accident before reaching the age of fourteen and his mother kept seeing him as a boy forever. Peter has since become an icon of innocence, and this is what prompted James Matthew Barry to commission the sculptor George Framten to make statues of Peter erected at night in the Kings Garden, to surprise the children of London on May 1st leave, and commemorate the boy who does not know the pyramid in another way. The country that Peter comes from is the land of dreams Neverland, which we all came from one day, and we forgot about it at the moment when we stopped believing in dreams and fairy dust and our ability to fly high.
