Traditionally, the character has been played on stage by a petite adult woman. He describes him as a beautiful boy with a beautiful smile, "clad in skeleton leaves and the juices that flow from trees". Barrie mentions in Peter and Wendy that Peter Pan still had all his "first teeth". His name and playing the flute or pipes suggest the mythological character Pan. In the play, Peter's outfit is made of autumn leaves and cobwebs. Physical appearanceīarrie never described Peter's appearance in detail, even in his novel, leaving it to the imagination of the reader and the interpretation of anyone adapting the character. Barrie later adapted and expanded the play's story line as a novel, published in 1911 as Peter and Wendy. He returned to the character of Peter Pan as the centre of his stage play entitled Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, which premiered on 27 December 1904 in London.
