Produktbeschreibung
Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM (1860 - 1937) was a Scottish novelist and playwright, best remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan. He was born and educated in Scotland but moved to London, where he wrote a number of successful novels and plays. There he met the Llewelyn Davies boys, who inspired him to write about a baby boy who has magical adventures in Kensington Gardens (included in The Little White Bird), then to write Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a "fairy play" about an ageless boy and an ordinary girl named Wendy who have adventures in the fantasy setting of Neverland. Although he continued to write successfully, Peter Pan overshadowed his other work, and is credited with popularising the then-uncommon name Wendy. Barrie unofficially adopted the Davies boys following the deaths of their parents.
Autorenporträt
Born in 1860 in Angus, Scotland, J.M. Barrie soon became one of the world's greatest story-tellers. A prolific novelist and playwright, Barrie is best remembered today for his modern mythology of Peter Pan and the Neverland. Barrie wrote several incarnations of Peter, beginning in his adult novel "The Little White Bird" in 1902. The play, "Peter Pan; or the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up" was first staged in London in December of 1904. In 1911, Barrie released the novelization of the play, which was intended to set the story down in writing for all time. Modern publishers, however, have made alterations to that work, "Peter and Wendy." This work, "Peter and Wendy: The Restored Text" from the Reginetta Press brings Barrie's original novel back to readers in its 1911 first-edition text.
