James M. Barrie
James M. Barrie was a Scottish playwright and novelist, best known for creating the beloved character Peter Pan. Born on May 9, 1860, in Kirriemuir, Scotland, he began his career as a journalist before turning to writing plays and novels. His most famous work, Peter Pan, was first performed in 1904 and has since become a classic of children's literature.
Barrie's writing often explored themes of childhood, imagination, and the passage of time. He was also known for his friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family, which inspired many elements of Peter Pan. Barrie passed away on June 19, 1937, leaving a lasting legacy in literature and theater.
