Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens

---

(1906)

This is a story about the beginning of Peter Pans' life. One night, when Peter lay in his cradle in his home, he heard his mother and father talking about what he was to be when he grew up. He did not like the idea of being a man with responsibility, so he simply flew out of the window and ended up in Kensington Gardens. He was only a baby, but he learned to walk and fly. He lived in Kensington with the faeries and birds which he became very good friends with. He had many adventures and he saw many interesting things happening in the Park during the daytime. It was also in Kensington Gardens that he met Tinkerbell. These Kensington Gardens adventures only a few of all the things Peter Pan experiences; the boy who never wants to grow up, and knows how to stay young.~Submitted by Rebecca Jarrolf.
