The statue was commissioned by J.M. Barrie, the author of the Peter Pan stories, and sculpted by Sir George Frampton. It was unveiled in 1912, placed secretly in the gardens overnight. Barrie wanted it to appear as if the fairies had placed it there while Peter Pan was away on an adventure.

He was inspired by the gardens, which he saw as a place where children could let their imaginations run wild.
