A London park holds another world
Kensington Gardens is an ordinary London park by day, full of paths, ponds, trees, and children with their grown-ups. But the narrator, who walks there with a boy named David, sees another world within it. Their walks become the starting point for stories about what happens when the gates close and the gardens belong to other creatures.

Questions about Peter Pan en los Jardines de Kensington

How old is Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens?
Peter is seven days old when he leaves home. Barrie presents him as a baby who still remembers being a bird, rather than the older boy familiar from the Neverland story. His unusual beginnings explain his connection with birds, flight, and the gardens.

Maimie Mannering is a young girl who remains in Kensington Gardens after the gates close. She encounters its fairy world and meets Peter. Their friendship gives the story a human relationship alongside Peter's life among birds and fairies.
