J.M. with his dog Porthos
J.M. Barrie is by far my very favorite author not to mention one of my top 10 favorite men. He wrote "Peter Pan" not really for children, but more as a testament to how he felt like a child himself. He also wrote it for the Llewelyn Davies family, who he met in the park and who he eventually spent all of his time with. Barrie thought the Llewelyn Davies boys stood out among the other children because of their red velvet tam o shanters. J.M. was also completely infatuated with their mother Sylvia, who was his Wendy. Barrie's life story was very interesting as were the books that he wrote. So, I entreat you to read Peter Pan, the story will take you to another world of pirates and Indians and mermaids.
