The story of the adventures of the amazing boy Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is a kind of "adult" children's book. James Matthew Barry originally wrote it for adults, and chronologically, the events unfold before Peter meets Wendy. The peculiarity of this book is that the author depicts the perception of the fairy-tale character, Peter Pan, not only by a child - little David, but also by an adult - the narrator of the story. The impressions of both intertwine, creating a bizarre and fascinating picture of the life of fantastic creatures right in the centre of London. The incredible story of the appearance of the boy Nee-Te-Nee-Se in the Gardens, his acquaintance with fairies and communication with birds, the construction of a magic boat and friendship with little Mamie Mannering - the reader will learn about all this with great interest from this book, supplemented by exceptionally accurate and very informative illustrations by the famous English artist Arthur Rackham.
