Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens

J. M. Barrie

Beschreibung

In "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens," J. M. Barrie weaves a magical tapestry that combines poignant nostalgia with whimsical fantasy. This classic narrative explores the enchanting realm of Kensington Gardens, where young Peter Pan finds solace among fairy inhabitants as he grapples with the transient nature of childhood. Barrie's elegant prose, suffused with lyrical elements and vivid imagery, offers a blend of adventure and introspection, immersing readers in a world that both delights and haunts. Written as a companion to his earlier play, "Peter Pan," this book expands on the mythos of the eternal boy, illuminating themes of innocence, loss, and the inevitable passage of time amidst an imaginative backdrop rich with vibrancy and charm. J. M. Barrie, a Scottish dramatist and novelist, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of childhood, notably his relationships with the Llewelyn Davies boys. These influences sparked his desire to capture the essence of youth and imagination, leading to the creation of timeless characters like Peter Pan. Barrie's unique perspective on childhood, informed by his surroundings and friendships, enabled him to infuse deep emotional layers into his narratives, rendering them enduringly relatable. "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens" is a must-read for anyone who yearns to reconnect with the innocence of youth or who appreciates the delicate balance between fantasy and reality. Its enchanting storytelling and rich illustrations will transport readers of all ages to a world where dreams and adventures await, making it a cherished addition to any literary collection.

Megan McDonald

Eliza has a second adventure on the other side of the fairy door—and must call on her wits when a band of impish hobgoblins follows her home—in this enchanting tale by the award–winning author of the Judy Moody series.What’s that? Eliza hears faint music coming from behind the teeny–tiny fairy door she created low on the wall. So she presses her ear to the door and—shwoosh!—is whisked into the red, rocky land of hobgoblins, leaving behind the heaps of toys and books that were strewn around her room (along with her mother’s orders to clean them up). Luckily, Eliza discovers that the pointy–hatted hobs love to play, love a mess, and can grant wishes! But when she wishes that Hobby, Nobby, and Tobby would help her with her room, she learns that what hobgoblins actually love is playing tricks—and as they burst into her space, it’s clear that she’s fallen for their trickery. Can she outrun their mischief before they decorate all of her walls with crayon and turn her ceiling fan into a hobgoblin merry–go–round? Just maybe . . . but only if she can come up with a few tricks of her own! Megan McDonald’s follow–up to Eliza and the Flower Fairies, illustrated in glowing full color by Lenny Wen, is sure to be happily devoured by every child who fervently believes in fairies and other magical folk.
