Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is a novel by J. M. Barrie,
illustrated by Arthur Rackham, and published by Hodder & Stoughton in
late November or early December 1906; it is one of four major literary
works by Barrie featuring the widely known literary character he
created, Peter Pan. Most of the text originally appeared as chapters
13â€"18 of Barrie's 1902 novel The Little White Bird.Peter is a
seven-day-old infant who, "like all infants", used to be part bird.
Peter has complete faith in his flying abilities, so, upon hearing a
discussion of his adult life, he is able to escape out of the window
of his London home and return to Kensington Gardens. Upon returning to
the Gardens, Peter is shocked to learn from the crow Solomon Caw that
he is not still a bird, but more like a human â€" Solomon says he is
crossed between them as a "Betwixt-and-Between". Unfortunately, Peter
now knows he cannot fly, so he is stranded in Kensington Gardens. At
first, Peter can only get around on foot, but he commissions the
building of a child-sized thrush's nest that he can use as a boat to
navigate the Gardens by way of the Serpentine, the large lake that
divides Kensington Gardens from Hyde Park.Although he terrifies the
fairies when he first arrives, Peter quickly gains favour with them.
He amuses them with his human ways and agrees to play the panpipes at
the fairy dances. Eventually, Queen Mab grants him the wish of his
heart, and he decides to return home to his mother. The fairies
reluctantly help him to fly home, where he finds his mother is asleep
in his old bedroom. Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
