Autorenporträt
Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM, was a Scottish novelist and playwright, most famously known for creating Peter Pan. He was born on May 9, 1860, in Kirriemuir, Scotland, and was educated in his hometown before moving to London. Barrie achieved success as both a novelist and a playwright, writing works that resonated with audiences for their wit, charm, and deeper social commentary. His best-known creation, Peter Pan, introduced the world to the timeless character of the boy who never grows up, influencing generations of readers and theatre goers. Barrie's works often explored themes of childhood, fantasy, and the complexities of growing up. In 1894, he married Mary Ansell, though their marriage ended in divorce in 1909. Barrie's later years saw him become a baronet and receive numerous accolades, including his appointment as a member of the Order of Merit. He passed away on June 19, 1937, in Marylebone, London, at the age of 77. His legacy, especially through Peter Pan, continues to influence literature, theatre, and film today.
