J. M. Barrie

James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937) was a Scottish playwright and author, best known for his play "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up". Born in Kirriemuir, Scotland, Barrie attended the University of Edinburgh, but did not graduate. He worked as a journalist in Scotland before moving to London in 1885, where he wrote plays and novels. His works often feature children or childhood experiences and often deal with death or the loss of innocence. In addition to "Peter Pan", some of his other famous works include "The Little Minister" and "Quality Street". Barrie was made a baronet in 1913, and was also awarded a knighthood in 1922. He died in London in 1937.
