J.M. Barrie (1860-1937) was a Scottish novelist and playwright.
After finishing school in Scotland, he moved to London, where he
met the five Llewelyn Davies boys, whom he originally told the tale
of Peter Peter. In 1904, Barrie wrote the play Peter Pan, or The
Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, which was very successful and led to him
writing the books we know today. Upon his death, he gave the rights
to Peter Pan to London's Great Ormond Street Hospital, a children's
hospital.
