Jamie Barrie, author of Peter Pan, loved all things about childhood and imagination. This is the story of his own childhood, from growing up in a crowded home to losing his older brother to difficulties in school, to finding himself as a playwright. In this book you'll meet some of the inspirations for characters and ideas in Peter Pan.
The illustrations are framed by a red curtain, which may help you see the stages of Jamie's life like the acts in a play. Also, each page contains a smaller illustration and quote from a version of Peter Pan, which cleverly goes along with the story.
