Kiss for Cinderella, A
About the Story
J. M. Barrie is a Scottish novelist and playwright who is best know for his 1904 play Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, which he later adapted into a children’s novel Peter and Wendy (1911). Barrie was ninth of 10 children and his father was a weaver. Barrie was shy and introverted and considered short at just 5’3” tall. As a child, Barrie loved to read books and set his mind to becoming an author, which his family discouraged. Barrie worked as a journalist before publishing his first novel, Auld Licht Idylls, in 1888. Before his death in 1937, Barrie had written dozens of novels and plays and had a host of literary friends that included Robert Louis Stevenson, George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Thomas Hardy, and Arthur Conan Doyle.
