關於作者
James Matthew Barrie was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland in 1860. He attended Edinburgh University and began writing stories for regional newspapers, quickly building a reputation as a popular writer of nostalgic Scottish tales, before going to a highly successful career as a playwright. Barrie married the actress Mary Ansell in 1894 but the pair separated in a highly publicised divorce in 1909.
Peter Pan was inspired by Barrie's friendship with the Llewelyn-Davies family, and was originally written as a play - its first performance in 1904 met with instant widespread acclaim. Barrie then adapted the play into the 1911 novel Peter Pan and Wendy. He was made a baronet in 1913 and awarded the Order of Merit in 1922. J.M. Barrie died on June 19, 1937. In his will he confirmed the gift of the copyright of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
