About the author
Born in Kirriemuir, Scotland, in 1860, J. M. Barrie grew up to become one of the most celebrated literary figures of his time. After studying in Scotland, he moved to London and built a successful career writing novels, journalism, and plays, often drawing on memories of Scottish life in his early work.
His lasting fame rests on Peter Pan, the story of the boy who would not grow up. First introduced in Barrie’s writing and then made world-famous on stage, Peter Pan became a classic of children’s literature and theater, giving readers a magical world that still feels fresh more than a century later.
Barrie received major honors during his lifetime, including a baronetcy and the Order of Merit. He died in 1937, but his imagination, humor, and gift for balancing lightness with feeling have kept his work alive for generations of readers and listeners.
