Autorenporträt

Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet was a celebrated Scottish novelist and playwright, best known for creating the iconic character of Peter Pan. Born on May 9, 1860, in Kirriemuir, Scotland, Barrie was the ninth of ten children in a family that experienced significant loss early on, particularly the death of his older brother, which profoundly affected him. His parents, David and Margaret Barrie, encouraged his education, and he later attended Edinburgh University, where he developed his passion for writing. After moving to London, Barrie wrote several novels and plays, achieving great success. He became particularly famous for Peter Pan, a work that has become a timeless classic. Barrie's personal life saw a marriage to Mary Ansell in 1894, though they divorced in 1909. His connection to the Llewelyn Davies family, whose children inspired his Peter Pan stories, was a notable part of his life. Barrie's works often reflect his fascination with childhood, innocence, and the complexities of human relationships. He passed away on June 19, 1937, in Marylebone, London, leaving behind a literary legacy that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
