Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens," a novel by J. M. Barrie, beautifully illustrated by Arthur Rackham and published in late 1906, takes readers on a whimsical journey into the enchanting world of Kensington Gardens. At its heart is the tale of a seven-day-old infant, Peter, who, like all babies, was once part bird and believed in his innate flying abilities. Peter's captivating adventure begins when he escapes through his London home's window after overhearing discussions about his future. Returning to Kensington Gardens, he encounters the crow Solomon Caw, who delivers a startling revelation: Peter is no longer fully a bird but a hybrid, a "Betwixt-and-Between." This discovery shatters his dreams of effortless flight and leaves him stranded in the Gardens. Resourceful and imaginative, Peter commissions the construction of a child-sized thrush's nest, which becomes his vessel for exploring the Gardens' beauty, particularly the Serpentine, a large dividing lake. Despite an initially rocky start with the fairies, Peter's curiosity and adaptability amuse them, earning their favor. Queen Mab ultimately grants him a wish, and he decides to return home to his mother. Upon his return, Peter's joy turns to heartbreak when he finds his mother has a new baby boy. Overwhelmed by a sense of abandonment, Peter returns to Kensington Gardens. Here, he encounters Maimie Mannering, a lost little girl, and their blossoming friendship introduces a touch of sweetness to the story. Maimie's departure leaves an indelible mark on Peter, making her the literary precursor to Wendy Darling in Barrie's iconic later work, "Peter and Wendy." Throughout the narrative, Peter's innocent misunderstandings of the human world, his playful nature, and the emotional depth of his experiences provide readers with a delightful and heartwarming journey through Kensington Gardens.

About The Author: Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860 1937), a Scottish novelist and playwright, is renowned for creating Peter Pan. Born and educated in Scotland, he later settled in London, where he penned numerous successful novels and plays. Barrie's encounter with the Llewelyn Davies boys inspired him to craft the tale of a magical boy in Kensington Gardens, initially featured in his 1902 adult novel, "The Little White Bird." This led to the creation of "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up" in 1904, set in the whimsical world of Neverland. While he continued to write, Peter Pan eclipsed his other works, and his legacy includes popularizing the name Wendy. His charitable legacy bequeathed the rights to the Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital, benefiting countless children.
