Arthur rackham peter pan5/22/2023 Barrie’s Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens ( public library | public domain) - the story of baby Peter, who, “like all infants,” was part bird but has now to learn to live an earthbound life - was published in 1906 with illustrations by the wildly imaginative, wildly prolific Arthur Rackham (September 19, 1867–September 6, 1939). In the first years of the twentieth century, a strange book titled The Little White Bird, or Adventures in Kensington Gardens enchanted readers with its fusion of whimsy and dark humor, its way of addressing adults in a way that honors the eternal child alive in each of us, and especially with one of its characters: a small boy named Peter Pan.įour years later, six of its chapters sprouted a new book, not for adults but for actual children.
