Other editions of book Peter Pan In Kensington Gardens

J M Barrie's most famous character, Peter Pan, originated in a whimsical story from his book The Little White Bird. Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is a revised version of that same story, and the Peter Pan we meet is a younger, slightly different character to the Peter Pan of Barrie's later, better-known works. Peter is a small boy who is, like all boys, part bird. When he hears his future being discussed he flies out the window and away to Kensington Gardens. There he discovers that he is now more boy than bird, and so he is stranded in the park, unable to fly any longer.

Acclaimed by The Times of London as "one of the most charming books ever written," J. M. Barrie's fantasy was published in 1906 with illustrations by the great Arthur Rackham. This meticulous re-creation of that rare and valuable volume features all of the original artwork that illuminated the text: 50 color plates as well as black-and-white tailpieces, headpieces, and more. Readers of all ages will delight in following the exuberant child through Kensington Gardens, where fairies dance to the music of his panpipes and teach him to fly.

Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, is one of the immortals of children’s literature. J. M. Barrie first created Peter Pan as a baby, living in secret with the birds and fairies in the middle of London, but as the children for whom he invented the stories grew older, so too did Peter, reappearing in Neverland, where he was aided in his epic battles with Red Indians and pirates by the motherly and resourceful Wendy Darling. With their contrary lures of home and escape, childhood and maturity, safety and high adventure, these unforgettable tales are equally popular with children and adults.

"Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens" is a novel by James Matthew Barrie, published in 1906, featuring the character he originated, Peter Pan. It tells the story of how Peter left his family as an infant, became a friend of fairies, and (re)learned to fly.Although it features Barrie’s most famous character, Peter Pan, the relationship between "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens " and Barrie’s play "Peter Pan" (or the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up), is ambiguous. In some respects, Kensington Gardens is a prequel to the play: Peter Pan is only one week old in the novel, which recounts how Peter acquired some of the characteristics he has in the play, including the ability to fly and his friendship with fairies. However, the novel also suggests that Peter Pan will never age (making it impossible for him to become the boy-hero of the play), and the novel’s magic works differently to the play’s. The novel’s publication history is also complex. Although it was published after the success of Barrie’s play, its text is almost identical to a section of Barrie’s earlier novel "The Little White Bird", which was published before the play. Most students of" Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens" have concluded that it is simply an alternative version of the most famous Peter Pan story.
