The Little White Bird; Or, Adventures in Kensington Gardens by J. M. Barrie

"The Little White Bird; Or, Adventures in Kensington Gardens" by J. M. Barrie is a novel published in 1902. The story follows a childless Victorian bachelor who forms an intense emotional bond with a young boy, weaving between contemporary London scenes and fantastical tales set in Kensington Gardens. The book introduced the character and mythology of Peter Pan, a magical infant who lives among fairies after "lock-out time." Ranging from whimsy to social comedy with dark undertones, it explores fatherhood, obsession, and childhood wonder. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
