Background[]
The Darling Family live, as told in the Disney film, in a quiet street in Bloomsbury in London in a corner house (The actual address being 14 Darlington Road). Peter Pan choose the Daring Family of London because they believed in him plus also it was close by to Kensington Gardens where he stayed before going to Neverland. Mary Darling believed that Peter Pan was the spirit of youth. But George Darling thought that Peter Pan was absolute poppycock. John Darling and Michael Darling believed Peter Pan was a real person and made him the hero of all their nursery games. Wendy Darling, the eldest, not only believed, was the supreme authority on Peter Pan and all his marvelous adventures. Nana, the nursemaid dog kept her opinions to herself and viewed the whole affair with a certain tolerance. Peter Pan and Tinkerbell go to the Darling house at night to search for Peter's shadow which had been left behind which Nana had but was soon taken away by Wendy and put safety away in a drawer for when Peter comes back to collect it.
