On a clear and starry night in London Wendy Darling told her brothers John and Michael stories about the adventures of Peter Pan who lived in faraway Never Land The boys loved hearing her tales about sword fights and mermaids and the pirate Captain Hook But they weren't just stories Wendy knew that Peter Pan was real because she had found his shadow and locked it in the Darling nursery
Unknown to the Darling children Peter Pan often visited to listen to Wendy's stories too But he had lost his shadow during his last visit so on that particular night Peter and his pixie Tinker Bell flew back to the nursery to retrieve it
