A Window in Thrums
A Window in Thrums – James M. Barrie „A Window in Thrums“ is a very curious realistic production, but it cannot rightly be called a novel. It is rather a series of detached pictures taken from the domestic life of a Scotch weaver’s family. There is no continuous narrative. The tableaux as they succeed one […]
When a man’s single
When a man’s single – James M. Barrie The career of a young Scotchman‘ „Rob Angus,“ is the subject of this novel. He is unusually gifted and clever, though born among the working people of a little Scotch village. His literary career is interfered with for awhile from his having to assume the care of […]
Tommy and Grizel
Tommy and Grizel – James M. Barrie A novel to be liked, or resented, as you will, but not to be ignored. When „Sentimental Tommy“ closed with two remarkable children just entering upon maturity, this sequel was foreshadowed. The scenes are in London and in Thrums; but the most critical incident happens on the Continent. […]
Sentimental Tommy
Sentimental Tommy – James M. Barrie To turn from George Elliot’s Tom Tulliver to Sentimental Tommy is to encounter the maladies of the soul. It is to leave the firm and solid ground of ordinary boyhood for the quicksands of a character that is almost feminine in its subtlety, hard to understand, and harder still […]

Peter Pan (Peter and Wendy)
Peter Pan (Peter and Wendy) – James M. Barrie This book J. M. Barrie was to the last generation what „Alice in Wonderland“ was to the one before.

My Lady Nicotine
My Lady Nicotine – James M. Barrie My Lady Nicotine „—a book that suggests but is very unlike “ The Reveries of a Bachelor.“ The former is urban : the latter is provincial. A briar pipe filled with Arcadia Mixture starts the reveries in the one ; a hearth fire, in the other. The five […]
Margaret Ogilvy
Margaret Ogilvy – James M. Barrie Margaret Ogilvy is a book which it is almost sacrilegious to criticise. It takes us into a region where there is no longer any relation but the common tie of humanity between author and reader. Yet just because it is so inaccessible to ordinary comment, it is easy to […]
The Little Minister
The Little Minister – James M. Barrie The „Little Minister“ is a light comedy, filled with a delicate romance and brightened with the humors of Thrums. It is a light comedy, despite the ambitious strain of the love passages, and the entertainment it affords is, on the whole, an exercise of one’s sentiments, not one’s […]
