Neverland

Island without aging

Neverland is the magical island in J.M.

Barrie's *Peter Pan* where children never grow up.

By extension, it describes any place or state of perpetual childhood, fantasy, or refusal to face adult responsibilities: He's living in Neverland if he thinks that plan will work.

The word gained additional associations through Michael Jackson's California estate of the same name.
