About the author
Born in Kirriemuir, Scotland, in 1860, J. M. Barrie grew up to become one of the best-known literary figures of his time. After studying in Scotland, he moved to London, where he built a successful career as a novelist and dramatist.
Barrie is most widely remembered as the creator of Peter Pan, first introduced in prose and then made famous in the 1904 stage play. The character of the boy who would not grow up became his lasting contribution to literature, but Barrie also wrote popular novels, essays, and many other plays.
He was made a baronet and later received the Order of Merit, reflecting the high regard in which his work was held. Even today, his writing remains memorable for its charm, humor, and the wistful understanding of childhood that runs through it.
