This novel is one of several by Sir James Matthew Barrie (J. M. Barrie), set in the fictional Scottish village of Thrums. Said to be modelled on Barrie’s own home town, Thurms provides the setting for a tragic novel rich in uncanny details of contemporary Scottish life and interwoven with a sad tale that deeply resonates with the life of the author. A must-read for fans of Barrie’s work, this haunting novel is more than worthy of a place in any collection. James Matthew Barrie was a Scottish novelist and playwright, best known for his timeless play and children's story, "Peter Pan". Other notable works by this author include: "Licht Idylls" (1889) and "Little Minister" (1891). Originally published in 1889, this vintage book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
