Plot summary
Abandoned as a newborn, Peter grows up in a London orphanage under the abusive Mother Barnabas, who hoards food and riches while the orphans go hungry. He and his friend Nibs are caught stealing from her stores, and pirates come to take the children away. Peter is carried on a flying ship to Neverland, where children work the mines for Pixum, crystallized fairy dust that keeps Blackbeard from growing old. In the mine he meets James Hook. Blackbeard tells of a native prophecy about a flying boy who will lead an uprising against him, and Peter calls it a bedtime story. Peter and Hook, with Smee, take a flying ship and escape into the forest, where Tiger Lily and her people find them.
