Definition von neverland im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

An ideal or imaginary place; a dreamworld

Neverland is the fictional island and dream world featured in the play Peter Pan by Scottish writer J. M. Barrie and subsequent novel Peter and Wendy. While sojourning in Neverland, people may cease to age; therefore, Neverland is often seen as a metaphor for eternal childhood (and childishness), immortality, and escapism. In the earliest drafts of Barrie's play, the island was called Peter's Never Never Never Land, a name possibly influenced by the contemporary term for outback Australia. When the play was performed, the island was referred to as the Never Never Land. In the published play, it was shortened to the Never Land. In the novel, it was spelled as one word: the Neverland
