James Matthew Barrie, the renowned Scottish novelist and playwright, was born in 1860 in Kirriemuir and rose to literary fame with his imaginative tales that captured the wonder and whimsy of childhood.

Best known for creating the iconic character Peter Pan, Barrie gifted the world stories that have inspired countless adaptations in theater, film, and literature. He was knighted in 1913 and passed away in 1937, leaving a legacy as one of the most beloved authors of children's literature, with his masterpiece featured in Caixa Clássicos Autêntica - Vol. 2: Peter Pan; A ilha do tesouro; Viagens de Gulliver; As aventuras de Tom Sawyer; As mais belas histórias Vol. 2 (Portuguese Edition).
