This is the magical tale that first introduces Peter Pan, the little boy who never grows any older. He escapes his human form and flies to Kensington Gardens, where all his happy memories are, and meets the fairies, the thrushes, and Old Caw the crow. The fairies think he is too human to be allowed to stay in after lock-out time, so he flies off to an island in the middle of the Serpentine, the lake which divides the Gardens from the more grown-up Hyde Park ... Peter's adventures, and how he eventually meets Mamie and the goat, are delightfully illustrated by arthur Rackham.
