Barrie's classic tale of the boy who wouldn't grow up. It started
life as a series of stories made up for the five Llewelyn Davies
boys, who were virtually adopted by Barrie after being orphaned.
This edition has F.D. Bedford's illustrations, which first appeared
in the author's own day.
J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) was a Scottish author and dramatist, best
remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan. The child of a family
of small-town weavers, he was educated in Scotland. He moved to
London, where he developed a career as a novelist and playwright.
There he met the Llewelyn Davies boys who inspired him in writing
about a baby boy who has magical adventures in Kensington Gardens
(included in The Little White Bird), then to write Peter Pan, or
The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a "fairy play" about this ageless boy
and an ordinary girl named Wendy who have adventures in the fantasy
setting of Neverland. This play quickly overshadowed his previous
work and although he continued to write successfully, it became his
best-known work.
