Publisher's Synopsis
Peter Pan has taken to sitting on the window sill at the Darling family home in London, so that he can listen to Mrs. Darling telling bedtime stories to her children, Wendy, John and Michael. He is never usually seen, but one night, Mrs. Darling spots him and he has to make a quick exit. In his haste, he leaves his shadow behind. Peter returns to the house to try to find it, but Wendy catches him and helps him to re-attach the shadow. As they talk, Peter realizes that she knows almost as many bedtime stories by heart as her mother does and invites her back to his home in Never Land to take care of him and the Lost Boys, a group of orphan boys who are his companions. Wendy agrees to go on the condition that her brothers are allowed to go as well.The trip to Never Land is eventful and the Darlings' arrival almost disastrous when Wendy is almost killed by one of the Lost Boys who shoots her, thinking she is a bird. Peter builds Wendy a little house where she can convalesce, and eventually she starts to feel better. Soon, Peter brings the other children to Mermaids' Lagoon, because they have learned that Princess Tiger Lily is being held captive there by Captain Hook, an evil pirate. They free Tiger Lily and overcome the pirate gang, an act of bravery for which the princess is so grateful that she offers to guard over Peter's home, and protect them from revenge attack by Hook and his pirates.
