Lost Boys (Peter Pan)
The Lost Boys are characters from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play ''Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up'' and later adaptations and extensions to the story. They are boys "who fall out of their prams when the nurse is looking the other way and if they are not claimed in seven days, they are sent far away to the Neverland," where Peter Pan is their captain.
