![]() ![]() Kensington gardens are still laid out as Arthur Rackham's map shows, and many landmarks are recognizable in his illustrations. ![]() Here, the baby Peter Pan makes friends with fairies, talks to the birds of Kensington Gardens, explores the Serpentine using a baby-sized bird's nest as a boat, and towards the end, is joined in all these by a lost girl.Īrthur Rackham (1867 - 1939) was a leading artist during the Golden Age of British book illustration. Children will love this delightfully whimsical story of the adventures of Peter Pan as a baby-before his better-known escapades with Wendy, the lost boys, and Captain Hook. This very generously illustrated edition of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens has 53 large full-colour images by famed children's illustrator Arthur Rackham. "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens dishes up a potent local myth, one that even now endows that park with magic."-Michael Newton, The Guardian. Barrie added a new character to the mythology of the English-speaking world - Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up. A beautiful, lavishly illustrated edition with colour images on almost every double spread. ![]()
