One of Barrie’s most collectible works, this 1901 chronicle of his struggles to kick the habit remains a cult favorite among pipe smokers. He takes plenty of historical liberties along the way: “written generally in serio-comic vein, brightened with flashes of droll irony and quaint suggestion.”—The Times of London.

“When Andrew Riach went to London, his intention was to become private secretary to a member of the Cabinet. If time permitted, he proposed writing for the Press.” So begins the first (1888) novel by the creator of Peter Pan. Barrie considered it a juvenile effort, but some readers think he invented surrealism in these humorous pages.

The creator of Peter Pan offers a darker take on boys who won’t grow up. In this 1900 sequel to The Sentimental Tommy (1896), a young man won’t let go of childish fantasy. The novel, generally considered a semi-autobiographical account of Barrie’s marriage, includes a comic portrait of a working writer’s life.

Peter Pan appears for the first time in this 1902 work. After dark, magical inhabitants emerge behind the locked gates of London’s famous gardens. Other characters in the intertwining storyline include Peter’s four-year-old friend Maimie, the London bachelor Captain W., young David and his governess, and Barrie’s own St. Bernard, Porthos.

The intriguing Dear Brutus is reminiscent of Barrie’s famed Peter Pan, in that it traces a group of people who enter a magic wood. Here they are transformed into the people they might have become had they made different choices. After the characters confront themselves, they must return to their lives and face the choices they made in the past, good or bad.

This early (1888) work of fiction by the creator of Peter Pan is based on newspaper sketches about small-town life in Scotland. Barrie also drew on his mother’s stories about her home town. He published two more books in this series, A Window in Thrums (1889) and The Little Minister (1891).

The creator of Peter Pan revisits his ancestral village in this 1889 work. Again he draws upon his mother’s stories about a small-town in Scotland; A Window in Thrums is one of Barrie’s most poignant novels. Of it he wrote: “It is a sadder book to me than it can ever be to anyone else.”
