A Fallen Leaf

by James Matthew Barrie

There is almost nothing
that has such a keen sense of fun
as a fallen leaf.

 

 

 

 

Notes:
Today is the anniversary of the death of the author of Peter Pan, James Matthew Barrie.

Barrie was inspired by Kensington Gardens.

In 1912, he commissioned Sir George Frampton to build the statue of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. It's been a favorite of visitors to the park ever since.

Gardens and flowers were a tremendous source of inspiration from Barrie.
