James Matthew Barrie was born in a village in Scotland in 1860, the ninth of 10 children of a linen-weaver and his wife. When James was six years old, his older brother died in a skating accident, and his mother began her withdrawal into grief. It is not an exaggeration to say that Barrie’s entire life—both his professional triumphs as a writer and his personal tragedies—led up to the creation ofPeter Pan, the play where “all children except one grow up.” As Lisa Chaney explores Barrie’s own struggles to grow up, she deepens our understanding both of his most famous character and of the complex relationship between life and art.
