Neverland

"On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles. We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more."

-Peter Pan

Sir James Matthew Barrie

Never-Land

Thus sharply did the terrified three learn the difference between an island of make-believe and the same island come true.

~J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
