	Kensington Gardens - Rodrigo Fresán
		Kensington Gardens is narrated by the writer of an enormously (on a Harry Potter-scale) successful series of children's books centred around a boy named Jim Yang whose 'chronocycle' allows him to essentially bicycle through time.
		Written under the pen-name of 'Peter Hook', the author isn't so much obsessed by Peter Pan as by his creator, J.M.Barrie, and the novel unfolds as a dual-biography of Barrie and Hook.
		Fresán does pull it off, for the most part, convincingly creating these two characters and the defining episodes in their lives (and the colourful rush of history around them).
