About this ebook
The creator of Peter Pan revisits his ancestral village in this 1889 work. Again he draws upon his mother’s stories about a small-town in Scotland; A Window in Thrums is one of Barrie’s most poignant novels. Of it he wrote: “It is a sadder book to me than it can ever be to anyone else.”
J. M. Barrie
J. M. (James Matthew) Barrie (1860--1937) was a novelist and playwright born and educated in Scotland. After moving to London, he authored several successful novels and plays. While there, Barrie befriended the Llewelyn Davies family and its five boys, and it was this friendship that inspired him to write about a boy with magical abilities, first in his adult novel The Little White Bird and then later in Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a 1904 play. Now an iconic character of children's literature, Peter Pan first appeared in book form in the 1911 novel Peter and Wendy, about the whimsical adventures of the eternal boy who could fly and his ordinary friend Wendy Darling.
