Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
A children's story which was in print during my childhood, but which I'm reading for the first time in an adulthood: having been one of those kids who pretty much finished the children's section in the library, this is a rare bird indeed.I mostly, reflexively, find myself reading in the same way as I did when I was a child: with open minded acceptance of the peculiarities of this little world I'm now immersed in, and a hint of detachment. I know fairies aren't real, but this is how they do
I just love the original story of Peter Pan, and I was rather excited to learn about this prequel. Unfortunately, my excitement did not last. I found the plot to be confusing and quite frankly, all over the place! Due to this, I found I had quite a bit of trouble understanding what was actually going on in the story, which is a major put-off for me.In the original story, I am able to connect with all the characters, but with this one, I had difficulties even relating to Peter!Having said all of
I just listened to the recording from Librivox, and it tore me up! It's especially sad when you know about the author's older brother who died when he was very young. Talk about survivor guilt. J. M. Barrie wrote himself into the story as the new baby who supplanted Peter, the reason his mother finally shut the window, which kept Peter from coming back! 😓😢ðŸ˜
I'm not sure why I've had Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens on my TBR shelf, but I'm glad I did, because otherwise, I probably wouldn't have chosen it to listen to today.Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is the prequel of Peter Pan. When Peter Pan is very young, he believes he's a bird, which is also why he knows how to fly. The truth is, you could fly if your faith in your ability to fly was unshaken. However, as soon as you doubt you can fly, you will never again be able to anymore.The story is
At the beginning of this book, it told me something along the lines of: to properly understand the story of Peter Pan, you need to understand Kensington Gardens. That is a lie. You do not need to read this book to understand, enjoy, or dislike (as was in my case), Peter Pan and Wendy. Put this book down. Go pick that one up. It'll be better than this, I assure you. This was very dry and boring to me. It kind of had the effect of reading a manual? But at the same time the author used 'you' so I
What a darling little children's book! Why did my mother never read this to me? I am not happy with her right now haha This is a beautiful story about the magical world in the after hours of Kensington Gardens. You get the fairies, the talking birds and trees, and of course Peter Pan. It is written well and i think it is a book derived to open up the minds of the young readers and teach them that there is more to this world than what we see. I enjoyed it as an adult and i will definitely read

Chronicle To Books Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens by J.M. Barrie. 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.Itemize Books Conducive To Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
