Barrie, the father of Peter Pan

Once upon a time, there was a man who was all the time thinking in being a child for ever, as he couldn't do It, he created someone who will did it for him, Peter Pan. 

The name of the creator of Peter Pan was James Matthew Barrie, a writer that was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland in 1860, he was the nineth of his brothers. Barrie likes to act in theater plays, for that reason, the first story of Peter Pan was a play. Barrie used to walk around Kensington Gardens, near his residence. There he met the children of the Llewelyn Davies family, named George, Jack, Peter, Michael and Nico. The writer felt enormously attached to these children; In fact, when Sylvia, the mother of the children, became widowed, Barrie was in charge of taking custody of them. Peter Pan, written in 1905, was inspired by these children who both delighted and fascinated him.

He liked to interpretate with them theater plays and that was his first inspiration to write his famous fairytale. Barrie studied at the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland and finally was named the rector of the university, that is to say, the most important person in the university because of his contribution to the children's literature.
