Peter Von Brown's Comments
I second what Andrea Jones has said.
Also:
>> Later, Barrie would cash in on the play's popularity by writing the novels Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906) and Peter Pan and Wendy (1911).
No, actually. The Kensington Gardens story had not been written extra. It had been sliced from The Little White Bird, as it had been a strange (and delightful) sudden diversion in that novel. And the title is Peter and Wendy.
Forgive my admonishing, but Barrie is near and dear to my heart as well. I've written two novels based on his notes for more Pan adventure.

(Show it anyway.)
Thanks for asking about my work. Please note that these are not simply me writing anything that struck my fancy. Sure, my own ideas are in my novels. But as mentioned, I use Barrie's notes, musings and ideas about more for Peter Pan. My books are scholarly creative pursuits, born out of my college Honors Project. I crafted them around Barrie's tales, careful not to contradict him - which every other Pan expansion has done, including the "official" sequel! {Note: The works of Andrea Jones are an exception. Yes, they veer from Barrie, but not without cause. Jones skillfully bends the timeline to allow for her own amazing adventures while never comprimising Barrie's core themes, essense or mythos. Vastly different from changing simple facts [or even entire sections] from the story due to what appears to be sheer negligence.}
My novels are a 'sequel' - "Peter Pan's NeverWorld"
& an interquel [a book chronologically between two existing books]
"Peter Pan: Betwixt-and-Between"
