<P> The original was built for Wendy Darling in J.M. Barrie 's play , Peter Pan , or The Boy Who Would n't Grow Up . Wendy was shot by the Lost Boy Tootles after arriving in Neverland , so Peter Pan and the Lost Boys built a small house around her where she had fallen . It was inspired by the wash - house behind Barrie 's childhood home in Kirriemuir and first appeared in story form in The Little White Bird in which fairies build a house around Mamie Mannering -- the prototype for Wendy -- so protecting her from the cold . </P>
