Peter Pan

I'm writing about someone associated with Bowring Park (Clare Cochius Gillingham; her father designed the park and, even more famously, the WWI memorial parks in Belgium and France). Which made me think about the Peter Pan statue. Most people know it was commissioned by Sir Edward Renniw Bowring in memory of his little grandaughter, lost on the Florizel, but did you know it is one of six replicas found all over the world? Here is some more information on this most compelling work of public art.
