James Barrie

Did you know...
... that today is the Birthday of James Barrie (1860)? Best remembered as the creator of Peter Pan, James Barrie was born in Scotland on this day in 1860. While living in London, he met the Llewelyn Davies boys -- Nico, Jack, Peter, George, and Michael -- who inspired him to write Peter Pan. Trivia fans: Before his death, Barrie gave the rights to the Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, which continues to benefit from them.
