J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) was a Scottish author and playwright. He was involved in the early twentieth-century attempts to overcome state censorship of the arts. Drawing inspiration from the Lewely Davies family (who had five boys), Barrie is best known as the creator of Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn't grow up.

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.”
