Sir James Matthew Barrie (Scotland, 1860-1937)
Sir James Matthew Barrie is the beloved Scottish author of the classic children's story--Peter Pan. Barrie was a Scottish dramacist
and novelist. He was born at Kirriemuir, Forfarshire. I have little information on his childhood or what he wore as a boy. James for the first 6 years of his life, lived in the shadow of his elder
brother David. Just before his 14th birthday, David was killed in a skating accident. James soon realised that, by dying so young, David would remain a boy forever in the minds of all those who had known
him--just like Peter Pan.
