Peter Pan and the Lost boys originally came around from the traumatic childhood of J.M.Barrie and the loss of his younger brother David in a skating accident. This left James desperate for the love of his grieving mother, Margaret, who under depression could not cope with the loss of her favourite child. Barrie's mother found comfort in the fact that her dead son would remain a boy forever, never to grow up and leave her.
James Mathew Barrie was born in the lowland village of Kirriemuir, in
Forfarshire. His father, David was a handloom weaver, and mother, Margaret Ogilvy, the daughter of a stonemason. Before her marriage Margaret, part of a religious act called the Auld Lichts, and later on in J.M.Barrie's story of Peter Pan, you can recognise the significance of her job in his story. When his parents both died, the Llewelyn Davies Family became his guardian. At night they read him story's and this is where he found the idea of instead of listening to them, to write them. One of his most famous quotes to why he made Peter Pan is "I made peter pan by rubbing the five of you violently together, as savages with two sticks to produce a flame". J..M.Barrie wanted always to remember his lost brother and so did his mother, but the irony in the story is that in Peter Pan, you have to lose and forget someone to allow them to be happy with themselves. J.M.Barrie once said this “Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.” This is quite ironic as that is exactly what you have to do in his story, “Peter Pan” to become a Lost Boy.
