J.M. Barrie, the son of a weaver, was born near Dundee, Scotland, in 1860. He was a journalist and novelist and began writing for the stage in 1892. Peter Pan, first produced in London on December 27, 1904, was an immediate success. The story of Peter Pan first appeared in book form (titled Peter and Wendy, and later Peter Pan and Wendy) in 1911.

Within seconds, every child in the park, all children that I didn’t even know, sat at the picnic table, engrossed in the story. Peter and Wendy is the story that we know as Peter Pa......more
Not gonna lie, I had to push myself to get through this. I just didn’t find it enjoyable in the slightest, which makes me feel like a loser since it’s such a beloved children’s classic. But at least I’m an honest loser? I didn’t really like Peter. Wendy annoyed me. And the humor and tone just fell flat f......more
