The Life of Barrie

I requested the book J.M. Barrie ~ The Man Behind the Image by Janet Dunbar from my local library after seeing the movie Finding Neverland (starring Johnny Depp and Kate Winslow) this past summer. It just arrived.

I picked it up today and read eight chapters while my girls danced at the dance studio. Reviewers are right. Janet Dunbar's writing is smooth and delightful; the book is very interesting.

I recommend checking out J.M. Barrie's official website. It offers original photos, letters, and notebooks.
