In both the play and the novel, Peter often visits the "real world" of London to listen in on bedtime stories told by Mary Darling to her children. One night, Peter is spotted, and in trying to escape he loses his shadow. On returning to claim his shadow, he wakes the girl Wendy Darling. Wendy re-attaches his shadow; Peter takes a fancy to her and invites her to Neverland to be a mother for his gang of Lost Boys, the children who are lost in Kensington Gardens.
