J. M. Barrie would have been pleasantly surprised to find that Peter's gloomy prediction of Tinker Bell's demise had been somewhat premature, for even fairies have a place where "a short time" and a "good while" are the same. There, in Everland, dreams drift in pools shimmering just below the surface, one need only walk from Summer to Fall for another season, and things rarely change; they ever. Below the High Forest, far from Mermaid's Lagoon, across the Great Mountains in a shallow valley called the Basin (named for the one near Gray's Gate in Kensington Gardens), lies Fairy Village. Whereas boys choose to live in Neverland as they "never have to do anything they don't want to," girls live with the fairies because they "don't fight as well as the boys so pirates and redskins have quite an advantage." It is here that Coira's story begins when a young boy and a guileful lawyer enter the world of fairies.
