About this ebook
In this 1901 Napoleonic-era comedy, Phoebe Throssel disguises herself as a vivacious cousin to test the suitor who spurned her. The play inspired the “Quality Street” brand of candy, and Katherine Hepburn starred in a 1937 film. “Barrie’s play has irresistible charm.”—The New York Times.
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.
