James Barrie was a Scottish novelist and playwright, best remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan, a free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up. "Peter Pan in the Kensington Gardens" introduces Peter Pan, who discovered the magic of everyday existence amid the trees and flowers of Kensington Gardens. Before he flew away to Neverland, the little boy who wouldn`t grow up dwelt in the heart of London, with birds and fairies. .
