"Neverland" is the fictional island featured in J. M. Barrie's "Peter Pan".
In Neverland resides Pirates, Fairies, Indians, etc. For this work, instead of being about Peter Pan, the island is the subject. The piece has four movements.

1. Tinkerbell and the Lost Boys
The lost boys separated from their parents and Tinkerbell are jumping cheerfully

2. Mermaid Lagoon
Though the theme port in Tokyo DisneySea comes to mind, this is where people are lured to and drowned after hearing the beautiful voices of the mermaids. The music is appropriately ominous for this dangerous place.

3. Indian Camp
This is where Indians live. With energetic drums, they dance around a fire.

4. Pirate Ship and Skull Rock
Skull Rock is where the Pirates hide their stolen treasures. They are usually seen as rascals. Their adventuresome lifestyle is portrayed in 6/8 tarantella style.
