J M Barrie and the Lost Boys: The Real Story Behind Peter Pan

This literary biography is â€œa story of obsession and the search for pure childhoodÂ .Â .Â . Moving, charming, a revelationâ€ (Los Angeles Times).
Â
J.Â M. Barrie, Victorian novelist, playwright, and author of Peter Pan,Â or The Boy Who Wouldnâ€™t Grow Up, led a life almost as interesting as his famous creation. Childless in his marriage, Barrie grew close to the five young boys of the Davies family, ultimately becoming their guardian and surrogate father when they were orphaned.
Â
Andrew Birkin draws extensively on a vast range of material by and about Barrie, including notebooks, memoirs, and hours of recorded interviews with the family and their circle, to describe Barrieâ€™s life, the tragedies that shaped him, and the wonderful world of imagination he created for the boys. Updated with a new preface and including photos and illustrations, this â€œabsolutely grippingâ€ read reveals the dramatic story behind one of the classics of childrenâ€™s literature (Evening Standard).
Â
â€œA psychological thrillerÂ .Â .Â . One of the yearâ€™s most complex and absorbing biographies.â€ â€”Time
Â
â€œ[A] fascinating story.â€ â€”TheÂ Washington Post
