The model Viking ship lay in the window of a little old shop in an unfamiliar back street, and Peter, on his way to the dentist, lost his heart to it at once. It cost him all the money in hist pocket, including the fare home. That was how he came to take the way along the beach which led him into grave danger, but also opened his eyes to the magic properties of the little ship in his handβthe ship that flew."When Peter sees the model ship in the shop window, he wants it more than anything else on Earth. But this is no ordinary model. The ship takes Peter and the other children on magical flights, wherever they ask to go. Time after time the magic ship takes them on different exciting adventures, to different countries, and to different times."
