Sir James Matthew Barrie, a Scottish novelist and playwright, is best known for creating Peter Pan. His move to London proved fruitful as he wrote successful novels and plays. Inspired by the Llewelyn Davies boys, Barrie crafted the story of a magical boy in Kensington Gardens, which later evolved into the iconic Peter Pan tale. Despite his other accomplishments, Peter Pan remains his most renowned work, overshadowing his other creations. Barrie’s generous act of gifting the rights to the Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital still brings benefits to children.
