J.M. Barrie Collected editions

J.M. Barrie (1860 – 1937) was a Scottish novelist and playwright best remembered for creating Peter Pan, the boy who would never grow up. Barrie first introduced Peter in a novel before expanding the character’s adventures into a beloved stage play and subsequent books.

His works explore themes of childhood, memory, and the bittersweet passage of time, often blending humor with melancholy. Barrie’s writing, though whimsical, carries a deep emotional resonance that speaks to readers of all ages.

Through the magic of Neverland, J.M. Barrie gave the world an eternal symbol of youth and imagination.
