Little Minister

Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937) was a Scottish author and dramatist, best known for creating Peter Pan. The Little Minister depicted a strict Scottish religious sect to which Barrie's grandfather once belonged to. Although critics called this and other early Barrie works sentimental and nostalgic depictions of a parochial Scotland far from the realities of industrialization, they were popular and established Barrie as a very successful writer.
