The Little White Bird or Adventures in Kensington Gardens: This book is a first edition written by J.M. Barrie c. 1902 and p. November 1902 by The Caxton Press, New York. It is a fantasy novel that tells the story of the first sighting of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, London, and what he’s doing there. The book introduces readers to the general myths surrounding Peter Pan. It was published in the U.S. by Scribner’s, who released it in its monthly magazine, Scribner’s Magazine. Barrie is best known for creating Peter Pan; he later adopted the children who inspired him to write the story. He gave Great Ormond Street Hospital the rights to Peter Pan before he died. The Little White Bird has autobiographical undertones. Barrie met the Llewelyn Davies boys in Kensington Gardens. In the book, a bachelor, the protagonist, befriends a boy called David and they have adventures together around London and Kensington Gardens. The man’s main concern is that one day, the boy will grow up and leave him alone. This feeling inspired Barrie to write about a boy who doesn’t grow up. The book begins with the narrator talking about how much he wishes he were David’s father, and how he pretends to be his dad in random situations, such as in a shop or café. He finds it amusing that David worries over how old his mother, Mary, is—twenty-six—and how she’s not young anymore. He decides to show David a different time, when everyone, including Mary, was younger. Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM was a Scottish novelist and playwright, best remembered as the creator of Peter Pan. He was born and educated in Scotland and then moved to London, where he wrote a number of successful novels and plays.
