Barrie and the Lost Boys

In J.M. Barrie’s story "Peter Pan," the Lost Boys are a group of children who, after losing their families or homes, live in Neverland—an enchanted island. They are called "Lost" because they are separated from their families and often become part of Peter Pan’s adventures. These Boys symbolize childhood’s innocence and independence, rejecting adult responsibilities. Their camaraderie highlights themes of friendship, belonging, and the magic of childhood imagination, making them central figures in the tale of eternal youth and wonder.
