Barrie's most famous work and arguably the greatest of all children's stories.

When Barrie was six, his older brother David died in a skating accident. Barrie then became his mother's chief comforter, while David remained in her memory a boy of thirteen who would never grow up. Barrie received his M.A. degree from the University of Edinburgh in 1882 and began working as a journalist. In 1885 he moved to London, and his writings were collected in \u003ci\u003eAuld Licht Idlls\u003c\/i\u003e (1888) and \u003ci\u003eA Window in Thurns\u003c\/i\u003e (1889), which, together with a sentimental novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Little Minister\u003c\/i\u003e (1891), made him a best-selling author. In 1894 he married an actress, Mary Ansell, but the marriage was profoundly unhappy, produced no children, and was dissolved in 1910. However, a favorite Saint Bernard dog of Mary's later became the famous Nana of \u003cb\u003ePeter Pan\u003c\/b\u003e. In 1897, with the adaptation of \u003ci\u003eThe Little Minister\u003c\/i\u003e, Barrie became a successful playwright, writing the plays\u003ci\u003e The Admirable Crichton \u003c\/i\u003e(1902), \u003ci\u003eWhat Every Woman Knows\u003c\/i\u003e (1903), and \u003cb\u003ePeter Pan \u003c\/b\u003e(1904), which was produced in 1904 and revived in London every Christmas season thereafter. While the figure of Peter Pan first appeared in Barrie's book \u003ci\u003eThe Little White Bird\u003c\/i\u003e (1902), the story and the concept began in the tales Barrie told the sons of Mrs. Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, a woman Barrie loved. Barrie then published the story of Peter Pan in book form as \u003ci\u003ePeter and Wendy\u003c\/i\u003e (1911). The best of Barrie's later works is\u003ci\u003e Dear Brutus\u003c\/i\u003e (1917), a haunting play that again brought the supernatural and fantasy to the London stage. Barrie died in 1937, bequeathing the copyright of \u003ci\u003ePeter Pan\u003c\/i\u003e to the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, a hospital for children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 6.88 x 4.18 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 1985\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peter Pan\/Peter Pan and Wendy\/The Adventures of Peter Pan (Unabridged) (English)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle Grades, 4-8\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.2\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47297350500601,"sku":"9780553211788","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/NzJPbUZYYXlKdVFEcVovaGFzVnhsZz09.webp?v=1769221211","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/peter-pan-paperback-38","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
