">This is the story of a girl who is very spoilt by her parents ignoring her and leaving her upbringing to an ayah who did not dare to go against her wishes. After her neglectful parents die in a cholera epidemic, Mary Lennox is sent to Mistlethwaite Manor in England, where she soon learns that the whole world does not revolve around her through her experiences there, especially after meeting her cousin, Colin Craven.
As Martha and Dickon\'s mother, Susan Sowerby says at one point, \"When I was at school my jography told as th\' world was shaped like a orange an\' I found out before I was ten that th\' whole orange doesn\'t belong to nobody. No one owns more than his bit of a quarter an\' there\'s times it seems like there\'s not enow quarters to go round. But don\'t you - none o\' you - think as you own th\' whole orange or you\'ll find out you\'re mistaken, an\' you won\'t find it out without hard knocks. [T]here\'s no sense in grabbin\' at th\' whole orange - peel an\' all. If you do you\'ll likely not get even th\' pips, an\' them\'s too bitter to eat.\"

To clarify what JD said a couple of years ago, the play, as well as the book, is in th ePublic Domain. I have to pay a licence fee if I want to do anything with the play, but other than that, there is no copyright on Peter Pan.

The book version of Peter Pan has been Public Domain in the UK since 01/01/2008. The Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children has perpetual royalties on the play. Google 'Copyrights, Designs and Patents Act 1988 Schedule 6' for more info.
