The Little White Bird (1902) is a novel by J. M. Barrie. Inspired
by his friendship with George Llewelyn Davies, the grandson of
writer George du Maurier, Barrie penned this heartwarming tale of
imagination and adventure featuring for the first time his beloved
character Peter Pan. Broken into short episodes, The Little White
Bird follows Captain W., a childless veteran, on his visits to
David and his family in Kensington Gardens. Through their
friendship, David receives an education in wonder, while the
Captain learns what it could feel like to be a father. Set in
Victorian London, the novel follows Captain W. on his long walks
through the city. With no family of his own, he finds comfort in
friendship with David, the son of a local governess. Enchanted by
the Captain's vibrant imagination, David loves most of all his
tales of Peter Pan, a magical boy who never grows old, who lives
with fairies and never says no to adventure. One night, the story
goes, a young girl is locked out of her house in Kensington Gardens
past dark. Scared and cold, she finds safety with Peter and the
fairies, who have gathered to celebrate life with a magnificent
ball. Written for children and adults alike, The Little White Bird
was the book that started it all, launching Barrie's career as a
popular storyteller whose tales of the present day are filled with
the wit and wonder of history's greatest fairytales. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of J. M. Barrie's The Little White Bird is a classic
work of Scottish literature reimagined for modern readers.
