"Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens" by J. M. Barrie is a novel published in 1906. A seven-day-old infant who believes he can fly escapes his London home and returns to Kensington Gardens, only to discover he's trapped between bird and human. Stranded in this magical world of fairies after dark, Peter navigates the gardens by boat, plays panpipes at fairy dances, and eventually meets a little girl who becomes his devoted friend—even as heartbreak shapes his destiny.
