“Andrew Birken does a great job describing the enchanting life of J.M. Barrie using interviews and actual letters from family and friends. He presents the Lost Boys life as a sad and wonderful life, with Barrie taking on the role of gaurdian of the boys in the Davies family after the tragic death of their parents.”

He was a truly eccentric author and play write. If you want to learn more about him, this is a biography that kept my attention and was well researched.”
