Extractions: James Matthew Barrie was born in Kirriemuir (Forfarshire), the "Thrums" of his fiction, on 9th May 1860, the seventh surviving child of a hand-loom weaver. Educated at Glasgow Academy, Forfar Academy and Dumfries Academy, he took his MA at Edinburgh University. He worked as a journalist for the Nottingham Journal before moving to London in 1885 to freelance. Success came with a series of sketches of life in bygone Thrums contributed to the St. James's Gazette , published in 1888 as Auld licht idylls , followed by When a man's single (1888) and A Window in Thrums (1889). These works and the novels The Little minister Sentimental Tommy (1896) and its sequel Tommy and Grizel (1900) have been regarded by George Blake and others as examples of the Kailyard School. Leonee Ormond 's J.M. Barrie (1987) argues that it is more rewarding to assess Barrie's regional fiction beside that of Hardy and George Eliot Barrie's dramatised adaptation of The Little minister was enormously successful, persuading him to write increasingly for the stage.
Extractions: A l w a y s be a l i t t l e kinder than necessary." ~ J. M. Barrie Playwright Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937), born on this day in Kirriemuir, Scotland, was is best known for writing the classic children's tale, Peter Pan (1904), about the boy from Neverland who refused to grow up. "Let no one who loves be called unhappy. Even love unreturned has its rainbow," said Barrie who with kindness delighted and inspired generations with his visions of Indians, mermaids, fairies, pirates, and flying children "I fell in love with hard work one fine May morning," he said. "The most precious possession I ever hadmy joy in hard work." Barrie studied at the University of Edinburgh and became a famous freelance writer. He also wrote such sophisticated political satire as The Admirable Crichton (1902) and What Every Woman Knows (1908). Always, he seemed to celebrate the optimism of childhood more than adulthood. "God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December," he observed. Barrie donated the perpetual rights of Peter Pan (the play and book) to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children , today the largest pediatric training and research center in the UK which treats over 100,000 children each year.

Extractions: J M Barrie 1860-1937 Sir James Matthew, O.M. (Bart. 1913), Chancellor of Edinburgh University (1930), was born 9 th May 1860 in Kirriemuir, Angus, and was educated there and at Dumfries Academy and Edinburgh University, taking his M.A. in 1882. After a year and a half as a journalist in Nottingham, he settled in London, and became a regular contributor the the St Jamess Gazette British Weekly (as Gavin Ogilvy), National Observer Speaker etc: His first volume, Better Dead (1887), was largely a satire on London Life; In Auld Licht Idylls (1888) he opened a new and rich vein, the humour and the pathos of his native village. Thrums, that village, still furnishes the keynote to When a Mans Single (1888), nominally a tale of literary life in London; and still more to A Window in Thrums The Little Minister (1891), his first novel, came out in Good Words , and showed grim humour, pathos, power of character-sketching and nature-description, with the gift of veracious and vivacious dialogue, but was fantastic and less true to nature than his shorter tales and sketches; it was dramatised in 1897.

BBC - H2g2 - Peter Pan Sir James Matthew Barrie (18601937) was a favourite writer in his day, andarguably England s favourite playwright at that time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A741124
Extractions: Posterity is a harsh editor. A favoured book or character may not last the test of time. Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937) was a favourite writer in his day, and arguably England's favourite playwright at that time. But it is on the enduring fame of one character - Peter Pan - that Barrie's reputation still lives. Generations have loved Peter, even, unwisely, emulated him. So, in his own, quiet way, will JM Barrie, baronet, outlive his contemporaries? Yet Barrie almost didn't reach this pinnacle. For he gave the world two Peter Pans, profoundly different from each other. How many writers can so transform a character in this way and yet attain literary immortality? Barrie may stand alone in this regard. Have a look, now, at the two Peters. The Little White Bird Peter Pan first appeared in The Little White Bird , or Adventures in Kensington Gardens (1902). The chapters relating Peter's story were later published separately as

Extractions: Rhonda Handlon Finding Neverland In this movie based on a play (The Man Who Was Peter Pan) based on his life, famous playwright Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937) has just suffered a major theatrical flop and his marriage is floundering when he happens upon the widow Sylvia Davies and her four winsome sons at the park. The writerâs fertile imagination and the boysâ penchant for role-playing spark a fun-filled afternoon of playacting. One afternoon becomes two. Two become three. Soon Barrie is spending more time with the Davies family than he is with his own wife (Mary), time that rejuvenates his writing and brings new life to the grieving family ... and fuels the local rumor mill. Barrie's role as the Davies boys' playmate and male role model takes on much deeper levels of responsibility and commitment when Sylvia's health deteriorates. But the whispering townsfolk, Sylviaâs critically outspoken mother (who is worried that her daughter is ruining her chances of finding a new husband by hanging out with a married man) and his wife's ultimatums weigh heavily on him. Ultimately, he chooses to ignore them all. He's too deep into the creation of Neverland, and it's his playtime with the Davies family that provides a steady supply of fodder for his story mill.

Extractions: "If you check out the real bio on Barrie you will wonder what this film was all about." Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz The thirtysomething Swiss-born and NYU film school graduate director Marc Forsters ("Monster's Ball") Finding Neverland is the subdued fictionalized biopic of the eccentric but successful Scottish-born playwright James Barrie (Johnny Depp). The knighted author (1860-1937) became honored for creating the immortal childhood fantasy of Peter Pan that has become part of the modern world's cultural and psychological heritage. The film is set during Edwardian times in London, mingling reality with fantasy in a somewhat leaden manner. It is adapted by screenwriter David Magee from the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan by Allan Knee; the crowd-pleasing, tear-jerking screenplay, a maudlin ode to innocence, is about an adult who never wants to grow up and is a believer in the magical world of the imagination. For a story that worships at the feet of the imagination, this one seems rather unimaginative and doesn't even seem to understand the children it pretends to understand. Peter Pan is performed in 1904 to great applause before an audience of swells interspersed with a handful of orphans given passes by the author. Barrie has written his greatest play thanks to being inspired by the boys, and leaves us with the lesson about what it means to really believe. At the reception following "Peter Pan's" premiere, a theater-goer (Laura Duguid, Barrie's reallife god-daughter) suggests that young Peter must be the real "Peter Pan," only to have Peter point to Barrie and reply: "But I'm not Peter Pan, he is."
