Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM, more commonly known as J. M. Barrie, was a Scottish novelist and dramatist. Best known for introducing the world to Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, and the magical world of Neverland, he was also actively engaged in the theatrical world. Moving amid a wide circle of luminaries including George Meredith, Robert Louis Stevenson, and George Bernard Shaw, it was ultimately Llewelyn Davies and his family who influenced Barrie's works the most. Important to his personal and professional life, their active group of five sons inspired much of the world of Peter Pan. Fine.
