by J. M. Barrie
"The Little White Bird; Or, Adventures in Kensington Gardens" by J. M. Barrie is a novel published in 1902. The story follows a childless Victorian bachelor who forms an intense emotional bond with a young boy, weaving between contemporary London scenes and fantastical tales set in Kensington Gardens.

Ranging from whimsy to social comedy with dark undertones, it explores fatherhood, obsession, and childhood wonder.
