THANK YOU FOR DOWNLOADING AND SEEDING THIS TORRENT

HEADS UP 1: This ebook contains all 50 plates (pictures) contained in one of the very earliest publications.

HEADS UP 2: Aldiko does not appear to have a back button like with Moon+ Reader, Calibre and Kindle (not that I can find anyway). For this reason I have intentionally added links from the numbered chapter headings back to the Contents page, and Explanatory Notes back to their respective footnotes.


Title:

PETER PAN IN KENSINGTON GARDENS by J. M. Barrie (Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet), Illustrator Arthur Rackham

Description: (courtesy of Goodreads)

Before he flew away to Neverland, the little boy who wouldn't grow up dwelt in the heart of London, with birds and fairies as his companions. This whimsical romp introduces Peter Pan, who discovered the magic of everyday existence amid the trees and flowers of Kensington Gardens — the very place where J. M. Barrie met the children who inspired his classic stories.

Acclaimed by the Times of London as “one of the most charming books ever written,” Barrie’s fantasy was published in 1907 with 50 stunning color illustrations by Arthur Rackham. This magnificent keepsake edition features all of Rackham’s winsome images of Peter’s adventures. Readers of all ages will delight in following the exuberant child as he sets sail in a boat built by thrushes from an island in the Serpentine to the enchanted Kensington Gardens, where fairies dance to the music of his pan-pipes and teach him to fly.
