“Aquellos que iluminan la vida de los demás, no pueden
evitar iluminar su propia vida.”
“Those
who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”
James Matthew Barrie

Sir
James Matthew Barrie, (9 May 1860 – 19 June 1937) was a Scottish author and
dramatist, best remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan. The child of a
family of small-town weavers, he was educated in Scotland. He moved to London,
where he developed a career as a novelist and playwright. There he met the
Llewelyn Davies boys who inspired him in writing about a baby boy who has
magical adventures in Kensington Gardens (included in The Little White Bird),
then to write Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a "fairy
play" about this ageless boy and an ordinary girl named Wendy who have
adventures in the fantasy setting of Neverland. This play quickly overshadowed
his previous work and although he continued to write successfully, it became
his best-known work, credited with popularising the name Wendy, which was very
uncommon previously.
