The Little White Bird Or, Adventures in Kensington Gardens

Reproduction of the original, first published in 1902. Early 20th-century novel following a childless Victorian bachelor who forms an intense emotional bond with a young boy, moving between contemporary London and fantastical tales set in Kensington Gardens. It introduced the character and mythology of Peter Pan, a magical infant living among fairies after "lock-out time." Ranging from whimsy to social comedy with dark undertones, it explores fatherhood, obsession, and childhood wonder.
