Never Land Books
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Never Land Books or Never Land Adventures are a series of short chapter books set in Neverland, the home of Peter Pan, based on the situations and characters established in the novel Peter and the Starcatchers and its two sequels. They are written by Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry and suspense novelist Ridley Pearson, and illustrated by Greg Call. There are five books planned. The stories focus on supporting characters from the novels, such as the Indians, mermaids, pirates, and Lost Boys. They include:
The books are being published by Hyperion Books (a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company) in defiance of the copyright claim of Great Ormond Street Hospital of London, to which writer J. M. Barrie gave the Peter Pan works in 1929, as confirmed in his will. GOSH argues that United States copyright law gives them exclusive rights to the characters and setting until 2023. Disney argues that the copyright had already expired in the U.S. when Congress extended the term to the length claimed by GOSH.[3]
