Inside the story
Meet Wendy Darling
Wendy Darling is the eldest Darling girl, a young and imaginative child living in London with her parents and younger brothers, John and Michael. Kind and nurturing, she takes on a caring, motherly role among the Lost Boys during her adventures in Neverland.
On the page
A girl of about twelve, slight and self-possessed, with long wavy chestnut-brown hair tied back from her face with a blue ribbon, clear hazel eyes and a serious, kindly expression. She wears a plain ankle-length white nightgown with a blue sash, or a simple blue day dress with a white pinafore. Child proportions and a child's face throughout.
