Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens

Who doesn't know that Peter Pan lives on the island of Neverland, befriends the fairy Tinker Bell, and fights against the pirate captain named Hook? This story about a boy who didn't want to grow up was told by the... English storyteller James Matthew Barrie in the book "Peter Pan and Wendy".

But why did Peter Pan run away from home? When and how did he leave his parents? Where did he live before moving to the island of Neverland?

Before you is the first book about Peter Pan — a tale of his early childhood, of communicating with birds, fairies, and his first encounter with an ordinary girl. After all, as it turns out, Peter Pan is not an ordinary child at all! And he lived in a fantastic place — in Kensington Gardens, a unique fairy-tale park created for readers by English illustrator Arthur Rackham.
