    About this ebook

    In this 1901 Napoleonic-era comedy, Phoebe Throssel disguises herself as a vivacious cousin to test the suitor who spurned her. The play inspired the “Quality Street” brand of candy, and Katherine Hepburn starred in a 1937 film. “Barrie’s play has irresistible charm.”—The New York Times.

    James Matthew Barrie

    J.M. Barrie, the son of a weaver, was born near Dundee, Scotland, in 1860. He was a journalist and novelist and began writing for the stage in 1892. Peter Pan, first produced in London on December 27, 1904, was an immediate success. The story of Peter Pan first appeared in book form (titled Peter and Wendy, and later Peter Pan and Wendy) in 1911. Barrie died in 1937, bequeathing the copyright of Peter Pan to the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, a hospital for children.

      The party was a failure. I can’t even tell you what a failure it was. There are no words. Only a great pain in my chest when I wake up. On the veranda. It’s better when I sit in the chair. Oh, but then I can see around. The gauzy curtains, pushed by
