THE COMING OF RESPONSIBLE 24  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 77 No. 3980  

Wednesday, May 23, 1956  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

THE MOST POPULAR STATUE  

IN LONDON,  

FAMOUS PETER PAN  

J' HE secret ambition of almost every  

Londoner is to retire and live in the  

country. This ambition may not always  

be achieved, so he either lives in the  

suburbs and has garden, or in the  

metropolis and has window-box. But  

in either case the Londoner takes his  

leisure in one of the many parks or open  

spaces with which the city abounds. One  

of the most attractive is Kensington  

Gardens, which lie to the west of Hyde  

Park.  

It is the playground of children and of  

dogs, and at certain times of the year it  

provides grazing for sheep. It has  

Round Pond on which model yachts are  

sailed and it has Kensington Palace, where  

the youthful Victoria became Queen in  

1837. It also has the most popular statue  

in London —that of Peter Pan, Sir James  

Barrie’s immortal hero and the “boy who  

wouldn’t grow up.” The statue stands  

near the bridge end of the Long Water,  

as this section of the Serpentine is  

known. Here, amidst trees and shrubs  

where the swans glide by on the quiet  

water, Peter Pan stands surrounded by  

the scene of his many stirring adventures  

in Kensington Gardens, recounted in the  

story written in 1906. He stands on tree  

stump, piping while fairy tiptoes to his  

feet and an old rock sits in cranny.  

Rabbits nibble around the roots of the  

tree, hare sits on mushroom-shelf with  

her young one crouching beside her, rats  

peep out of holes and climb about, while  

two fairies talk to squirrel.  

The statue by Sir George Frampton  

and cast in bronze never fails to attract  

the attention and admiration of all those  

who Visit Kensington Gardens. Near the  

Round Pond is the Elfin Oak, tree  

carved with figures of elves and gnomes.  

Flower walks ablaze with color in Spring  

and Summer, and secluded dells are other  

features of these attractive gardens in the  

heart of London.  

No. 299: the Homeland Series hy the House of Seppelt.
