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 book tells the reader about the birth of Peter Pan, how he runs away from his mother, how he finds refuge in Kensington Gardens. On the contrary, it is a backstory of the most famous tale. Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is the magical tale that first introduces Peter Pan, the little boy who never grows any older. Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is not a continuation of the tale Peter Pan, as it may seem at first glance. After lots of adventures, the story reaches its exciting climax as Peter, Wendy and the children do battle with Captain Hook and his band. His hand was bitten off by a crocodile, who, as Captain Hook explains ‘liked me arm so much that he has followed me ever since, licking his lips for the rest of me’. ![]() The leader of the pirates is the sinister Captain Hook. He teaches them to fly, then takes them through the sky to Never-Never Land, where they find wolves, Mermaids and… Pirates. The magical Peter Pan comes to the night nursery of the Darling children, Wendy, John and Michael. ![]()
