Book Overview
Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is a simple and a magical story about a fairy boy who does not want to grow up. Written by J. M. Barric in 1911, the title character is a tribute to Harrie's brother who died in childhood and is eternally young Peter lives in Neverland, a magical island, with the fairies and the Lost Boys, his band of followers. The novel describes his adventures with the Darling farmily of England: Mr. and Mrs. Darling and their three children Wendy, John and Michael. Created by Scottish novelist and playwright, it is one of the most popular characters of the twentieth century. It made its first appearance on stage in 1904.

Book: Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is beautifully illustrated by Arthur Rackham-and Peter's miserable story of being locked out of his mother's room (she had bars put on the window so that her new baby couldn't "fly away" as Peter did) made my eyes squirt tears as when I first read this book when I was a child. All of the stories are amusing. Barrie's English sense of humor has something for children and adults.
Where the story begins...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is where the story of Peter Pan starts and it is a wonderful one at that. Maybe not as adventurous as the better known story of Peter Pan and maybe not really as focused as some may wish. It has a weird, twisted logic to it, as it darts and flies about. But that makes it all the more wonderful and magical. The drawings by Arthur Rackham add to the feelings of a story set in a world long ago and far away.
Delightful

Even though I do think that this is a great book , it is only half of an even greater. For those of you who don't know this book was just the middle few chapters of one of JM Barrie's books entitled "The Little White Bird". I would encourage people to buy that version instead of this because it includes the same text and more detailing story of a young boy quite in the same way like Peter Pan.
Pleasant tale of Pan at home...

Like most, I read "Peter and Wendy" (which many know simply as "Peter Pan," and was the basis for the Disney movie) before reading "Kensington Gardens." I completely enjoyed "Kensington," and loved getting to spend a little more time with Pan, getting to know his history and his friends in the garden.I would recommend "Peter and Wendy" be read before "Kensington Gardens," simply because "Peter and Wendy" will allow the reader to grow fond of the character, and "Kensington" will allow this further insight into his life.Either way, read 'em both. It's well worth it.
