An enchanting biography of J. M. Barrie, the man who created Peter
Pan and his Lost Boys "For an insightful exploration of Barrie and
the boys who inspired him, nothing rivals [this book]."-Norman
Allen, Smithsonian Magazine J. M. Barrie, Victorian novelist,
playwright, and author of Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow
Up, led a life almost as magical and interesting as as his famous
creation. Childless in his marriage, Barrie grew close to the five
young boys of the Llewelyn Davies family, ultimately becoming their
guardian and devoted surrogate father when they were orphaned.
Andrew Birkin draws extensively on a vast range of material by and
about Barrie, including notebooks, memoirs, and hours of recorded
interviews with the family and their circle, to describe Barrie's
life and the wonderful world he created for the boys. Originally
published in 1979, this enchanting and richly illustrated account
is reissued with a new preface to mark the release of Neverland,
the film of Barrie's life, and the upcoming centenary of Peter Pan.
"A psychological thriller . . . one of the year's most complex and
absorbing biographies."-Gerald Clarke, Time "A terrible and
fascinating story."-Eve Auchincloss, Washington Post
