You
know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can
still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, Peter
Pan. That's where I'll be waiting.

Peter
Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up and Peter and Wendy are the
stage play and novel (respectively) which tell the story of Peter
Pan, a mischievous little boy who can fly, and his adventures on
the island of Neverland with Wendy Darling and her brothers, the
fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, the Indian princess Tiger Lily,
and the pirate Captain Hook. The story was written by Scottish
playwright and novelist J. M. Barrie, inspired by his friendship
with the Llewelyn-Davies family.

Nana
is a Newfoundland dog who is employed as a nanny by the Darling
family in Kensington Gardens. Nana does not speak or do anything
beyond the physical capabilities of a large dog, but acts with
apparent understanding of her responsibilities. The character is
played in stage productions by an actor in a dog costume. Barrie
based the character of Nana, though not the breed, on his dog
"Porthos", a Saint Bernard.
The
Disney film version was the first time in which Nana and the
Crocodile (named Tick-Tock the Croc in comics published later)
were shown as animal characters rather than played by actors -
sometimes the same one - as in the stage play. In the original
1911 novel, Nana was a Newfoundland, instead of a St. Bernard as
she is in the 1953 movie.
