About this audio guide
This guide to Sefton Park in Liverpool crouches beside the bronze Peter Pan statue outside the Palm House, and goes back to a summer morning in nineteen twenty-eight when the city's children found something new in their park. You'll meet the Southport merchant who paid for it, a retired stage Peter brought back for one last performance, and J. M. Barrie, who joined in from afar. Best heard kneeling by the stump, close enough to see the mice and fairies.
