J.M. Barrie and the Lost Boys

Front Cover
34 Reviews
Yale University Press, 2003 - Biography & Autobiography - 323 pages
"J. M. Barrie, novelist, playwright, and author of Peter Pan, led a life almost as magical and interesting as his famous creation. Childless in his marriage, Barrie grew close to the five young boys of the Llewelyn Davies family, ultimately becoming their guardian and devoted surrogate father when they were orphaned. Andrew Birkin draws extensively on a vast range of material by and about Barrie, including notebooks, memoirs, and hours of recorded interviews with the Llewelyn Davies family and their circle, to describe Barrie's life and the wonderful world he created for the boys."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
