Peter Pan, the hero of a play by Sir James Barrie, is a boy who refuses to
grow up. Peter Pan persuades Wendy, John, and Michael Darling to fly with him
and the fairy Tinker Bell to Never-Never Land. The Darling children and Peter
Pan have adventures with the pirate Captain Hook, a crocodile, and an Indian
princess. The play was first produced in 1904.
The character first appears in Barrie's story The Little White Bird1902.
Several chapters from the story were published in 1906 as Peter Pan in
Kensington Gardens. In 1911, Barrie made the play into a story called Peter Pan
and Wendy.

strongly emphasizes the brotherhood of all men and forbids the drinking of
alcohol. These soldiers have their hair fastened into a tightly-rolled topknot

suttee
ùSUTTEE is
a Hindu custom that people once practiced is India. Its name comes from the
Sanskrit word sati, which means faithful wife. By the custom of suttee, a widow
allows herself to be burned to death beside her husband's body on the funeral
pyre. The pyre is a pile of material that burns easily. No one knows how the
custom began. An ancient book states that a widow should lie by her husband's
body on the funeral pyre. A few widows, especially the wives of kings, refused
to leave the pyre and burned to death. In 1829, the British, then the rulers of
India, made suttee illegal.
