Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM was a Scottish author and dramatist, most recognized in the present as the author of Peter Pan. He was born and studied in Scotland but emigrated to London, where he composed numerous outstanding stories and dramas. There he encountered the Llewelyn Davies boys, who motivated him to pen of an infant boy who has enchanting ventures in Kensington Gardens contained in The Little White Bird, later to create Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a fairy drama of a timeless boy and a common girl, Wendy, who have excitements in the world of magic taking place in Neverland. Even though he still makes stories well, Peter Pan outdone his other writings, and is attributed with disseminating the name Wendy. The playwright privately took on the Davies boys in the wake of the passing of their parents. He became a baronet by George V, and a member of the Order of Merit in the 1922 New Year Honours. Before he died, he handed the privileges to the Peter Pan plays to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, which remains to be of help from them. He understood that he dreamed to have a profession as a novelist. Although, his family tried to convince him to take a vocation in the ministry.

Reviews
On Dec 5 2016, a reader said:
I inherited this book after my mother died (B. 1898), and just started to read it yesterday. I'm now 79. It's magic. Truly, magic. There are four short stories, all connected to The Great War.
