作者简介

Sir James Matthew Barrie, better known as J. M. Barrie, was a distinguished Scottish novelist and playwright born on May 9, 1860, in Kirriemuir, Angus. He attended the University of Edinburgh before moving to London to pursue a career in journalism and literature. Barrie's literary genius is most notably captured in his creation of Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn't grow up. 'Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens', published in 1906, is one of Barrie's significant contributions to children's literature, originating from earlier stories written for adult audiences. The character of Peter Pan first appeared in the 1902 novel 'The Little White Bird' and later became the focus of the play 'Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up' in 1904, subsequently adapted into the novel 'Peter and Wendy' in 1911. Barrie's whimsical storytelling and inventive fantasy landscapes have left an indelible mark on both the literary world and popular culture. His works reflect a unique combination of sentimentality and wit, often intertwining personal loss and childhood innocence. Knighted in 1913 for his contributions to literature, Barrie's legacy endures through the enchanting world of Neverland and the enduring popularity of his most famous character, Peter Pan. Barrie passed away on June 19, 1937, leaving behind an oeuvre that continues to capture the imaginations of readers and audiences around the globe.
