Description: Peter Pan in Scarlet by Geraldine McCaughrean.
A full-cast BBC Radio drama based on the official sequel to J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan and Wendy.
The play continues the story of the Lost Boys, the Darling family and Peter Pan in 1926, at the time of the reign of George V and following the Great War.
The novel sees the return of Wendy Darling, her brother John and adopted brothers Nibs, Slightly, Tootles, the Twins and Curly, who were once Peter Pan's Lost Boys. At the end of Peter Pan and Wendy, Wendy, John and Michael Darling, who has died previously, brought the Lost Boys home to London where Mr. and Mrs. Darling adopted them.
The novel opens with John Darling and his wife denying the existence of vivid, realistic dreams about Neverland that John keeps having.
We discover that each of the Lost Boys and Wendy have also been having these vivid dreams of Neverland and Wendy arrives at the conclusion that bombs from the Great War have punched holes through their world into Neverland and dreams and ideas are filtering through.
Can Wendy and the Lost Boys, now known as Old Boys, find a way of returning to Neverland and help Peter Pan return both worlds to normal?
