    Despite a long-lasting friendship by letter, JM Barrie & Robert Louis Stevenson never met, & Barrie never got to go to Samoa:

    “Vailima was the one spot on earth I had any great craving to visit… I shall never go up the Road of Loving Hearts now, on ‘a wonderful clear night of stars,’ to meet the man coming toward me on a horse.”

    A quotation from J. M. Barrie

    WENDY: Oh! Peter, when Captain Hook carried us away —
    PETER: Who’s Captain Hook? Is it a story? Tell it me.
    WENDY: (aghast) Do you mean to say you’ve even forgotten Captain Hook, and how you killed him and saved all our lives?
    PETER: (fidgeting) I forget them after I kill them.

    J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
    When Wendy Grew Up — An Afterthought (1908, publ. 1957)
