James Matthew Barrie – brytyjski pisarz pochodzenia szkockiego. Urodził się 9 maja 1860 r. w Kirriemuir (Szkocja), pochodził z wielodzietnej rodziny, ogromny wpływ na jego życie miała tragiczna śmierć jego starszego brata Davida. Barrie od dzieciństwa marzył o zostaniu pisarzem, wiele czytał i interesował się literaturą. Jednak jego rodzice nie pochwalali tego wyboru. W 1885 r., dzięki wsparciu brata Jana, wyjechał do Londynu, gdzie podjął pracę jako dziennikarz. Do jego najważniejszych dzieł należą m.in. Nieporównany Crichton, a także powieść dla dzieci Przygody Piotrusia Pana. Pisarz zmarł 19 czerwca 1937 r. w Londynie. Przygody Piotrusia Pana to historia maleńkiego chłopca, który uciekając z domu do magicznego parku, został w nim na noc i już nigdy nie mógł powrócić do właściwej ludzkiej natury. Piotruś Pan jest idolem dla innych dzieci, odwiedzających Park Leśny, każdy chciałby choć raz go zobaczyć, porozmawiać z nim i pobawić się. Jednak nie jest to takie łatwe, gdyż park jest zamykany zawsze o stałej porze i nikt nie może pozostać w nim po zmroku. Jednak są dzieci, którym się to udało… Jak potoczą się losy dzielnego, małego chłopca? Czy Piotruś Pan powróci kiedykolwiek do swojego domu? Co czeka niesforną dziewczynkę, której jednak udało się spędzić noc w parku? Beletrystyka idealna na nagrody dla uczniów szkół podstawowych!

The magical Peter Pan comes to the night nursery of the Darling children, Wendy, John and Michael. He teaches them to fly, then takes them through the sky to Never-Never Land, where they find Red Indians, wolves, Mermaids and... Pirates. The leader of the pirates is the sinister Captain Hook. His hand was bitten off by a crocodile, who, as Captain Hook explains 'liked me arm so much that he has followed me ever since, licking his lips for the rest of me'. After lots of adventures, the story reaches its exciting climax as Peter, Wendy and the children do battle with Captain Hook and his band. Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is the magical tale that first introduces Peter Pan, the little boy who never grows any older. He escapes his human form and flies to Kensington Gardens, where all his happy memories are, and meets the fairies, the thrushes, and Old Caw the crow. The fairies think he is too human to be allowed to stay in after Lock-out time, so he flies off to an island which divides the Gardens from the more grown-up Hyde Park - Peter's adventures, and how he eventually meets Mamie and the goat, are delightfully illustrated by Arthur Rackham.
