In J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, what is the name of Wendy Darling’s youngest brother?

The story behind the answer

In J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, Wendy Darling’s youngest brother is Michael Darling.

Michael is the youngest of the three Darling children who leave the nursery for Neverland. His older siblings are Wendy and John. In the original story, the children live with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Darling, in London.

Michael is generally portrayed as the most childlike of the Darling siblings. He is associated with a teddy bear and wears a nightgown in many stage and screen adaptations. His role is sometimes confused with John’s because both boys accompany Wendy and Peter on the journey.

The Darling children’s names remain broadly consistent across Barrie’s major Peter Pan versions, although adaptations may alter costumes, dialogue, or the amount of attention each child receives.
