<P> Although the character appeared previously in Barrie 's book The Little White Bird , the play and its novelisation contain the story of Peter Pan mythos that is best known . The two versions differ in some details of the story , but have much in common . In both versions Peter makes night - time calls on the Darlings ' house in Bloomsbury , listening in on Mrs. Mary Darling 's bedtime stories by the open window . One night Peter is spotted and , while trying to escape , he loses his shadow . On returning to claim it , Peter wakes Mary 's daughter , Wendy Darling . Wendy succeeds in re-attaching his shadow to him , and Peter learns that she knows lots of bedtime stories . He invites her to Neverland to be a mother to his gang , the Lost Boys , children who were lost in Kensington Gardens . Wendy agrees , and her brothers John and Michael go along . </P>
