New Releases by J. M. Barrie

In "The Little White Bird; Or, Adventures in Kensington Gardens," J. M. Barrie masterfully intertwines fantasy and reality, crafting a tale rich in whimsy and charm. Set against the backdrop of Kensington Gardens, the narrative unfolds through a series of enchanting adventures featuring a young boy and the magical creatures he encounters, including the iconic Peter Pan. Barrie''s lyrical prose and imaginative storytelling reflect the Edwardian literary context, illustrating the era''s fascination with childhood innocence and the interplay between the mundane and the extraordinary. J. M. Barrie, best known for creating the beloved character of Peter Pan, drew inspiration from his own experiences and relationships, particularly his bond with the Llewelyn Davies boys. This connection to youth permeates Barrie''s work, allowing him to capture the delicate balance between carefree childhood and the encroaching responsibilities of adulthood. His unique ability to evoke nostalgia for lost childhood has cemented his place in the literary canon. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Little White Bird" to readers of all ages who seek a profound exploration of childhood, imagination, and the significance of play. Barrie''s storytelling transcends time, inviting readers to linger in the magic of Kensington Gardens and reflect on the beauty of youthful wonder.

Peter Pan (Peter and Wendy) by J.M. Barrie Unabridged 1911 Original Version

The Little White Bird is a British novel by J. M. Barrie, ranging in tone from fantasy and whimsy to social comedy with dark, aggressive undertones. It was published in November 1902, by Hodder & Stoughton in the UK and Scribner''s in the US, although the latter had released it serially in the monthly Scribner''s Magazine from August to November.[1] The book attained prominence and longevity thanks to several chapters written in a softer tone than the rest of the book, which introduced the character and mythology of Peter Pan. In 1906, those chapters were published separately as a children''s book, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.The Peter Pan story began as one chapter and grew to an "elaborate book-within-a-book" of more than one hundred pages during the four years Barrie worked on The Little White Bird.The complete book has also been published under the title The Little White Bird, or Adventures in Kensington Gardens.

The original and classic story written by J.M.Barrie and first published in 1906 is the story of Peter Pan in London''s Kensignton Gardens. With cover artwork and inside illustrations by the great illustrator Arthur Rackham. Acclaimed by the Times of London as ''one of the most charming books ever written.''

Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn''t Grow Up or Peter and Wendy is J. M. Barrie''s most famous work. Peter Pan, a mischievous yet innocent little boy who can fly, and has many adventures on the island of Neverland that is inhabited by mermaids, fairies, Native Americans and pirates. Peter has many stories involving Wendy Darling and her two brothers, his fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the pirate Captain Hook. The play and novel were inspired by Barrie''s friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family.

In Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, J.M. Barrie first created Peter Pan as a baby, living a wild and secret life with birds and fairies in the middle of London. Later Barrie let this remarkable child grow a little older and he became the boy-hero of Neverland, making his first appearance, with Wendy, Captain Hook, and the Lost Boys, in Peter and Wendy. The Peter Pan stories were Barrie''s only works for children but, as their persistent popularity shows, their themes of imaginative escape continue to charm even those who long ago left Neverland. This is the first edition to include both texts in one volume and the first to a present an extensively annotated text for Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.

Peter is a seven-day-old infant who, "like all infants", used to be part bird. Peter has complete faith in his flying abilities, so, upon hearing a discussion of his adult life, he is able to escape out of the window of his London home and return to Kensington Gardens. Upon returning to the Gardens, Peter is shocked to learn from the crow Solomon Caw that he is not still a bird, but more like a human - Solomon says he is crossed between them as a "Betwixt-and-Between". Unfortunately, Peter now knows he cannot fly, so he is stranded in Kensington Gardens.

Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn''t Grow Up or Peter and Wendy is J. M. Barrie''s most famous work, in the form of a 1904 play and a 1911 novel.

The play and novel were inspired by Barrie''s friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family. Barrie continued to revise the play for years after its debut until publication of the play script in 1928.Barrie created Peter Pan in stories he told to the sons of his friend Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, with whom he had forged a special relationship. Mrs. Llewelyn Davies''s death from cancer came within a few years after the death of her husband. Barrie was named as co-guardian of the boys and unofficially adopted them.The character''s name comes from two sources: Peter Llewelyn Davies, one of the boys, and Pan, the mischievous Greek god of the woodlands. Andrew Birkin has suggested that the inspiration for the character was Barrie''s elder brother David, whose death in a skating accident at the age of fourteen deeply affected their mother.According to Birkin, the death was "a catastrophe beyond belief, and one from which she never fully recovered. If Margaret Ogilvy [Barrie''s mother as the heroine of his 1896 novel of that title] drew a measure of comfort from the notion that David, in dying a boy, would remain a boy for ever, Barrie drew inspiration.

Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is a charming story of J.M. Barrie’s much-adored character Peter Pan, on his adventures through Kensington Gardens as an infant boy. Part baby, part bird, the seven-day-old Peter escapes from the window of his London home to explore the wider world and finds himself stranded in Kensington Gardens, unable to fly. On his magical adventures through the gardens, he encounters many fairies, animals, and lost children who help him along the way. While his adventures are full of exciting twists and turns, he begins to miss his mother. Will Peter ever make it back home? Predating Barrie’s most famous work Peter Pan, or, The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (1904), the text of this work was taken from his lesser-known story, The Little White Bird (1902), where Peter’s character was first introduced. The work is accompanied by a series of dazzling colour and black and white illustrations – by a master of the craft, Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (which encompassed the years from 1850 until the start of the First World War), Rackham’s artistry is, quite simply, unparalleled. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate this delicately written children’s classic.

Peter Pan is a mischievous boy who decided he would never grow up. When he convinces Wendy Darling and her brothers to fly away with him, they travel to the island of Neverland in an enchanted world where adventures await around every corner. But when nefarious pirate Captain Hook captures Wendy and the boys, will Peter and the fairy Tinker Bell be able to save them? First published in 1911 with illustrations by F. D. Bedford, this is an unabridged version of Scottish author and playwright J. M. Barrie''s iconic fantasy for children—and children at heart.

When an English lord and his entire household are stranded on a desert island, a new social order based on survival skills emerges ? with comic results for master and servant.

All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, ''Oh, why can''t you remain like this for ever!'' This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.

In this lively and engaging four-act play, Peter Pan author J. M. Barrie tackles the touchy subject of women''s roles in marriage with his trademark wit and insight. In an agreement more akin to a business transaction than a whirlwind romance, the Wylies secure the engagement of their good-hearted but plain daughter Maggie to an up-and-coming law student. Over the years, Maggie quietly works her magic behind the scenes, engineering her husband''s stratospheric rise. But will it be enough to win his love and respect?
