JAMES MATTHEW BARRIE was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland in 1860. “Peter Pan” was inspired by the author’s friendship with the Llewelyn-Davies family. Barrie would tell George and Jack Llewyllen-Davies — the original lost boys — stories about Neverland. He originally wrote the story as a play and its first performance in 1904 was a hit. Barrie then adapted the play into the 1911 novel “Peter Pan and Wendy.” He was made a baronet in 1913 and awarded the Order of Merit in 1922. J. M. Barrie died on June 19, 1937.
