THE LITTLE WHITE BIRD
This book (originally published in 1902) marks the first appearance of Peter Pan. One section gives a condensed version of the text that later was expanded and elaborated to become Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. In this early version Peter Pan was a first-person narrative about a wealthy bachelor clubman's attachment to a little boy, David. Taking this boy for walks in Kensington Gardens, the narrator tells him of Peter Pan, who can be found in the Gardens at night. |
