Auteur: J. M. Barrie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

J. M. Barrie (1860–1937) and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) were Scotland-born authors known for producing prolific works. As a child, Barrie was an avid reader who loved serialized stories. He went on to study literature at University of Edinburgh and wrote for the Edinburgh Evening Courant. Meanwhile, Doyle spent seven years at a Jesuit institution followed by a stint at medical school. Both men made their mark in publishing by writing bold and beloved characters that would stand the test of time. Barrie is best known for creating Peter Pan, while Doyle introduced the famous consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes.
