The book deals with themes of childhood innocence, the desire for freedom, and the bittersweet nature of growing up.
The story begins with Peter Pan leaving his home just days after he was born, choosing instead to live among the birds and fairies of Kensington. He learns the ways of the birds but longs to return to the world of children. As he navigates his unique existence, he encounters many characters, including fairies and other fantastical beings, each of whom adds richness to his adventures.
