Kensington Gardens


                                                                     Hello everyone !
I've never been in any english speaking country but I love do it.
Since I saw the movie Winning London I've wanted to go to Kensington Gardens wrere is The statue of Peter Pan which is one of the most famous staues in London.
It was commissioned by J.M. Barried ( author of Peter Pan ) to Sir George Frampton to premiere on the night of the May Moning, 1912. Barried lived near Kensington Gardens and published his first story about Peter Pan in 1902, using the park for inspiration.
In his story Peter flies out of the nursery and lands behind the lake in the exact place where th statue was erected. Frampton should have inspired by the photograph of Michael, one of the boys friends of Barrie, but the sculptor decided to use another child as a model, leaving Barrie very disappointed with the result, he said: " It does not show the devil in Peter".

I hope you enjoyed it !
