Postava Petra Pana se poprvé objevila v roce 1902 v románu The Little White Bird, který skotský spisovatel James Matthew Barrie (1860 – 1937) napsal pro dospělé. O dva roky později vznikla divadelní hra Petr Pan, aneb chlapec, který nechtěl vyrůst (Petra Pana hrála žena) a díky jejímu úspěchu byly i publikovány kapitoly 13 – 18 z této knihy pod názvem Petr Pan v Kensigtonských zahradách (Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, 1904). Rozšířená divadelní hra pak vyšla jako román pod názvem Peter and Wendy v roce 1911. Předlohou pro Petra Pana byl prý Barrieho starší bratr David, který zemřel ve 14 letech při bruslení, a tak v očích jejich matky nikdy nevyrostl. J. M. Barrie se přátelil s rodinou Llwelyn Daviesových, kteří měli pět synů. Aby p

Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother first fell ill, ever since she started the treatments that don't quite seem to be working. But tonight is different.

Jake Whyte is the sole resident of an old farmhouse on an unnamed British island, a place of ceaseless rains and battering winds. It's just her, her untamed companion, Dog, and a flock of sheep. Which is how she wanted it to be. But something is coming for the sheep - every few nights it picks one off, leaves it in rags. It could be anything. There are foxes in the woods, a strange boy and a strange man, rumours of an obscure, formidable beast. And there is Jake's unknown past, perhaps breaking into the present, a story hidden thousands of miles away and years ago, in a landscape of different colour and sound, a story held in the scars that stripe her back.
