| Summary |
In Margaret Ogilvy, author J.M. Barrie (today best remembered for his enduring children's classic Peter Pan) presents a loving, detailed portrait of his mother. As a child, Margaret had been forced to become the ""woman of the house"" when she was only eight years old, filling in as the household manager after her own mother's death. Her difficult early life seems to have inspired Barrie's works about children who seek desperately to cling to the carefree days of youth. |
