J. M. Barrie 
Margaret Ogilvy [PDF ebook] 

A beautiful little book – one wants to pigeonhole it as ’biography’ (of his mother), but it’s much more a work of literature than that. Barrie looks back on his life in Scotland, with his numerous siblings – though all but two remain nameless – and his parents. His father is barely mentioned, for it is his mother who seems to have been the centre of the author’s life.
A portrait of Barrie’s mother, with insights into the effects of his brother’s tragic early death.
