![]() ![]() Unfortunately, Peter now knows he cannot fly, so he is stranded in Kensington Gardens. ![]() ![]() Upon returning to the Gardens, Peter is shocked to learn from the crow Solomon Caw that he is not still a bird, but more like a human – Solomon says he is crossed between them as a "Betwixt-and-Between". Peter has complete faith in his flying abilities, so, upon hearing a discussion of his adult life, he is able to escape out of the window of his London home and return to Kensington Gardens. Peter is a seven-day-old infant who, "like all infants", used to be part bird. Illustration by Arthur Rackham of Peter in a bird's nest, floating under the bridge ![]()
