Dear Brutus

The life of J. M. Barrie, a Scottish novelist and dramatist, is marked by his creation of Peter Pan, inspired by the Llewelyn Davies boys. Born in Kirriemuir as one of ten siblings, he received a solid education before pursuing journalism in Nottingham and London. His transition to novel and playwriting led to significant cultural contributions, including popularizing the name "Wendy," which was rarely used prior to the early 20th century. Barrie's legacy continues to influence literature and theater.
