Finding Neverland
Helen Mark takes listeneers on a journey to the real Never Never Land, as she explores JM Barrie's birthplace in the rural landscape of Kirriemuir, near Dundee.
Helen Mark takes us on a journey to the real Never Never Land.
Peter Pan first came to life on the glittering stage of London's Duke of York Theatre on 27th December 1904, but he began life far away from the hustle, bustle and glamour of the West End in the market town of Kirriemuir near Dundee. Helen Mark visits the birth place of J.M. Barrie who immortalised this "wee red toonie" as "Thrums" in his popular (pre-Pan) novels Auld Licht Idylls, A Window in Thrums, and The Little Minister. Helen also takes us out into the landscape that is believed to have inspired Never Never Land and the adventures of Peter Pan himself.
