Peter Pan, the boy who vowed he would never grow old, and Alice Liddell, the girl who forgot how to be a child, once met in a London bookshop in 1932.
Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Davies, the boy on whom J M Barrie based Peter Pan!
Little is known of what was said, if, anything at all.
But what is certain,
"Peter Llewelyn Davies came to despise Peter Pan because to him it was a lie: Peter Pan was the boy who never grew up. To Peter the reason people never grew up was because they died horribly.
"Alice Liddell, on the other hand, went through these hardships and found a certain amount of solace in Alice in Wonderland near the end of her life, when she was rediscovered as the inspiration for the character."
