When James Barrie was 6 years old, his older brother David their mother's favourite died in an ice-skating accident on the day before his 14th birthday. One time, Barrie entered her room and heard her say, "Is that you? At the age of 8, Barrie was sent to the Glasgow Academy in the care of his eldest siblings Alexander and Mary Ann, who taught at the school.
When he was 10, he returned home and continued his education at the Forfar Academy. He became a voracious reader, and was fond of penny dreadfuls and the works of Robert Michael Ballantyne and James Fenimore Cooper. At Dumfries , he and his friends spent time in the garden of Moat Brae house, playing pirates "in a sort of Odyssey that was long afterwards to become the play of Peter Pan ".
Barrie knew that he wished to follow a career as an author. However, his family attempted to persuade him to choose a profession such as the ministry. With advice from Alexander, he was able to work out a compromise: he would attend a university, but would study literature. He graduated and obtained an M. Following a job advertisement found by his sister in The Scotsman , he worked for a year and a half as a staff journalist on the Nottingham Journal.
James's Gazette , a London newspaper, using his mother's stories about the town where she grew up renamed "Thrums". The editor "liked that Scotch thing" so well that Barrie ended up writing a series of these stories.

He proposed to her and they were married on 9 July He used Ansell's given name for many characters in his novels. In and , he had back-to-back successes; Quality Street was about a respectable, responsible old maid who poses as her own flirtatious niece to try to win the attention of a former suitor returned from the war. The Admirable Crichton was a critically acclaimed social commentary with elaborate staging, about an aristocratic family and their household servants whose social order is inverted after they are shipwrecked on a desert island.

George Bernard Shaw described the play as "ostensibly a holiday entertainment for children but really a play for grown-up people", suggesting deeper social metaphors at work in Peter Pan. Barrie had a long string of successes on the stage after Peter Pan , many of which discuss social concerns, as Barrie continued to integrate his work and his beliefs.
