Barrie wrote this short book in 1896, soon after his mother’s death, out of the stories she told him and the life they shared in their small Scottish home. He describes the six hair-bottomed chairs bought the day he was born, the death of his brother that marked her for ever, her girlhood as a stonemason’s daughter, and her fierce pride in his first steps as a writer in London.
